Please report. If they're really effective, perhaps I'll take a few of those off your hands (at a unit price markup that is worth your while, of course). FWIW, I've had some luck with squirting dogs with water bottles; not that I've been chased by very many... On Sun, Oct 1, 2017 at 6:28 PM, 'Dav

I've never heard of snap and pops, so looked it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_snaps The only thing that makes me nervous sometimes while riding is dogs, and if these might dissuade a mutt in pursuit then I want some. Where can I buy some? I live in Indiana in case that matters. --

I've played with the poppers in Delhi; as a boy, we'd shoot them from the backseats of taxis with slingshots at passers by, stupid little shits that we were. I've not seen them in this country. It looks as if Amazon has or had them. https://www.amazon.com/Case-Whipper-Snappers-Snaps-boxes/dp/B009Q

One cyclist said that he carries snap-n-pops when he rides. One dog used to chase him down the street. One snp later and the dog never chased him again. So he recommends carrying them with you when you ride. I don't know if they call them snap and pops out in Albuquerque but they are like tiny p

Was it a heron or an Egret, Patrick? The wetlands here are full of two different species of egrets. I was on a ride and watched a greater egret catch a vole, just as I passed it, it took flight, a red tailed hawk swooped down and caused the egret to drop his vole and the hawk grabbed it and flew
