Great video as always. I'm curious about the disease part though. Excuse my ignorance on the matter. We only have groundhogs here as burrowing pests.

JD,
The California Ground Squirrel is loaded with fleas. These fleas are known carriers of the bubonic plague. They are especially dangerous around livestock. Therefore, we take all that we can get to prevent the reemergence of this awful disease. Recent cases have been on the rise.

Its true a lot of ppl do not know about the real problems that these farmers have, thats why almost every farm in the city wants and need us there. in fact there is one town that has them so bad that they host a ground squirrel round up every year, inviting shooters to come to their city and help out by shooting them all....here is the info
