Thanks Yoder, just what we needed down here.

Have posted this before in other fora, but it's my explanation to relatives how rural we are. The gate to "my backyard" , three sides of our property are BLM land, square miles of it for me to roam, the gate is a 50 yard walk from my driveway:

My house is at the near edge of the yellow grass in the valley below, picture taken from close to the top of the nearest ridge in the "gate" pic:

This "neighbor" in my woodpile is no longer with us. A year or so after this pic was taken, he found out about a 12g load of #6 as he wouldn't leave the chicken yard fence one night. I'd have preferred he was smart enough to avoid that, as they are hell on the ground squirrels and gophers I hate, but I can't have one digging under the chicken fence.

We're not as rural as some, only 15 miles from town.
