G'day Celtic, you sure you want Australians joining this thread?
OK .. I'm always open to new ideas. I'm on 40acres of tall timber surrounded by half a million acres of state forest and national park. I'm currently running serveral hundred possums, several large colonies of bats, kangaroos, swamp wallabies, feathertail gliders, kookaburras, barking owls, powerful owls, hawks, wedge tailed eagles, lyrebirds, bellbirds, currawongs, cockatoos, ecidnas, quolls, frogs, goannas, lizards, snakes, eastern waterdragons, 50 head of wombats possibly a yowie or two and a large moose. (well, we call it 'the moose' really it's just the biggest red dear in the southern hemispere)
