Are adapters available to recharge the cylinder from commercial welding gas bottles?
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I'm not sure if refillable N2 cartridges are available.

It comes with a tub you fill with water and drop the trap in.  Not as rewarding as plugging them buts works when you're not around
Way cooler than the live animal trap I bought at farm store
I am trying it

Have a large veggie garden; squirrels dig in it a bit, but do not eat anything as far as I can see.  They do eat Mexican sunflower ornamental plants.  You can keep shooting & trapping all you want; I think the squirrels can only be kept a bit under control but not eliminated.  A guy in town I know has live trapped over 100 squirrels in the last 6 months or so, and still has 2-3 under or around his bird feeder pretty much every day.  It seems they aren't that territorial, and they just keep "filling the vacuum" in places where they are trapped.

I'm up to about 6 ground squirrels already and still plenty to go....

Ground squirrels?  Are we all talking about the same thing?

Here in Minnesota, "ground squirrels" are the same as "gophers".  And, we have at least two kinds of gophers, the lined kind and the "golden" gophers.  Some mix up the lined kind with chipmunks.

Gray squirrels are the big kind with the bushy tails.  Usually grayish, but can be black or reddish gray.

Red squirrels are smaller than grays & do not have the big bushy tails.

The ground squirrels here in California look like grey squirrels but smaller and have less fur on their tails. They literally tunnel into the ground like gophers....

In Oregon we have grey diggers and Beldings ground squirrels, they are tunnelers and silver grey tree squirrels.

I'm still at war and averaging 3-6 kills a week!

I was ready to buy one but they're out of stock.  You must have created a run on them.

Shoot (so to speak).  I pulled the trigger (so to speak) but they do not ship to Hawaii.
