He doesn't fool with the quills because they break easy and he said heck with em. IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

We don't even dump them in dead pits here they get pulled out by critters and stung out all over the pastures. Big deep coulee's by them no hunting and trapping ranches are good dump site's. Sure wouldn't want to be a culvert cleaner in them areas lol Let me sugar coat this
