Just occurred to me those gnat guns might have a future afterall :)

And, get this. My visiting neighbor is railing about the Wis. Fish and Game. He claims the hunters wiped out all the deer because the F&G handed out so many licenses because the insurance companies wanted them wiped out. Too many cars were hitting deer, so it seems.

Same pest here in various parts of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia 2 years ago. Nearly 100% kill in some areas. Folks here found deer in and around ponds mostly.

I hope your herds recover.
