Pallets in fields

Tassie Devils are scavengers... and right now there's a mouth cancer that's really knocked down their population (poor buggers). They're trying to breed a safe population IOT release back into the wild here but a bunch of them have been nailed by cars as they've been feeding on road-kill themselves. Very powerful, bone cracking, jaws on them. A rare sight now = very sad.

There was a Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) which was declared extinct in the '80s... but there's still hope (and a reward) that it's not so. The Tassie Tiger is even on our vehicle license plates.

Wag, thanks for the update on 'dem devils. I had no idea.

It is indeed sad about the poor Devils. I saw a TV piece on the mouth cancers several years ago.

Let me get this straight,,, you WANT pallets in your fields? Many of us have extricated the pallets and driven wood takes into the ground in yet questionable locations hoping to never be visited again.

No Tom, I (we) don't want pallets in our fields. We're trying to figure out why inverted V pallets were in a field according to the OP... that same OP who we then never truly heard back from.

There was a report of similar pallet formations in Washington State, a few months ago. That OP said he'd investigate and that thread died a quiet death. VERY mysterious!

I wonder if this is one of the fields in question?

Not all that mysterious. Just a warning they don't want you mentioning them, beware!

Let the record show that I remain skeptical regarding the validity of this so-called "theory." Earlier in this thread I posted this image that debunks the "theory."

Steve,
You might want to keep an eye on whoever gave you that photo. Something about it doesn't quite seem to be on the up and up.
