    I got the notch trigger when I got mine as I struggled with the big shot when I first got it. 100% worth it IMO

    Have you tried lawn applications to target the grub stage? Granted they could be coming from anywhere but it may help.

    Who dis?

    Wandering through Brooklyn seeing a man about some Paw Paw’s I came across this pretty damn nice oak tree in a park. I’m thinking Turkey Oak, Quercus cerris. What do you all think?
