Gentleman
I now can say for a fact. I would rather put my ass on an electric fence than get sprayed in the face again with pepper-spray!
Old Farmer to answer your questions, first we had to do the spray in the face then run through a fighting take down and cuffing scenario. The pepper really hurts after the adrenaline goes away. Since you and I both have been through it do you think I should bring my can to the farm next year so Pat, Ryan, and Topher can try it?
As for my area the FWC is sending me back home to Palm Beach County so we don't have to move or do anything different. I will be on a 50/50 squad 50% of my time on the Ocean and 50% of my time out in the woods and swamp.

I'm just gonna say this right now to clear the air, so that no "misunderstandings" occur... If I EVER get sprayed with pepper spray or mace, or get tazed, directly or by accident, I will undoubtedly go out of my head for a moment or two and make sure that the person who caused the deed gets to "try out" lead shot in the ass... just wanted to clear that up... ;)
Glad to hear you're having fun in class... Try to play nice now, ya hear...
Ok so Chris is out for the spray and tazer. How about c.s.gas aka tear-gas . Just kidding If I were to pepper-spray you the paper work would kill me so I would really hate doing it with an ass full of pellets standing at the computer.
I saw how much lead you put in that pheasant 2 years ago and you weren't mad at him...:)
Hey Deerkiller!
I still happen to have an extra can, from the last time they replaced our old ones because of expiration date, how about if we have a couple of guys start arguing about who is the best shot, and give them each a can, take 10 paces, turn and fire!! Or just in case a mountain lion was about to jump you, and because we are such great sportmen, and wouldn't shoot an animal out of season, then we could just spray the lion. ( or see who could sneak up and spray a deer, and then wrestle it to the ground!! Or play tag with one of the skunks in the haymow of the barn. We could also just use a little in the next batch of chili!!
I haven't heard anything on the Kingsbury Job yet, should in afew days. One of the duties of this job would be to drive the shoreline of every lake in Kingsbury Co. looking for a new, brushy weed called salt-cedar, a very invasive brush that really destroys a watershed. How many miles of shoreline around Thompson, Whitewood, Henry, Preston, Poinset, Spirit, and the 30 or so little lakes also?
Sounds like job security to me!
Later, the old farmer (appreciate the chatter on the blog)
Damn right. great job security. Plus the big thing about invasive plants is that you have to look all day long in every spot, In a state vehicle with the A/C on of-course.
Ouch I hadn't realized salt-cedar had made it up this far. Its made a mess of the southwest. And Phil is right... If your looking for invading plants you might have to sit very still in the truck in case they try to sneak up on you.
Just thought I should let everyone know that I didn't get the weed supervisor job in Kingsbury Co. They hired the guy that was in the position last year.(they had to advertise the opening because the job description changed somewhat) But I just started with Central Valley Ag Coop as a seasonal, partime employee. (Translation-really long hours, low pay) I am hauling fertilizer, chemicals and water to the fields. this will be for a couple of months this spring, and for a while next fall. It should fit my schedule for the important things. Keep in touch everyone. Pistol Pat, are you there???
the old farmer.
