Ok guys, got one for you.
Got my copy of Successful Farming last night in the mail box.
Started reading Roger Welches tale of a howling mouse. Now, I know old Roger can spin some yarns, but he sounded real serious in this one.
Seems the critter only eats bugs, likes stink bugs, eats little or no grain.
Is he for real or is this another story?
He says they are in the North West states. I never heard of such a thing.
I feel Ol' Roger laid one on my brain this time.
Anyone else read the article?
Have a fun day guys...don't work so hard.

Was watching a science documentary a while back - could have been a National Geographic, but don't press me on that... Anyway, they had an item on the mouse. As I remember, the mouse has a restricted area where it lives, desert. And it showed scenes of the mouse leaning back and howling, if you could call it that. Seems it is so high frequency it is beyond human hearing. they had to record it and electronically drop the frequency to make it audible!

They are also known as grasshopper mice. Pretty neat critters. Wouldn't mind a few to take care of the stink bugs, but the barn cats would take care of the mice first.

Roger is so full of BS I wouldn't believe him if he said the sky was blue. Even if there was such a critter you could bet he made up the rest. He is a "champeeen story teller"

Funny thing. I went to GOOGLE during lunch and looked it up. He was not kidding. They even have a picture on one. Funny little critter.
