I noticed you were contemplating on a pitching machine conversion for some fine furry launching.

I have a situation here and need help with the problem.

Crat disposal. Living in the burbs means I have to use stealth (See silencer and Haveacrat traps.)

I have been thinking though, I live about a mile from the Gator Farm (Zoo).

See where I am going with this?

Ok, outside fence is along a four-lane highway. The fence is 12' high and made of wood. From what I can calculate, the inner fence that contains the gators is located about 50' from the outer fence and is approx 6' high.

The outter fence has a sidewalk right alongside it. There is a grassy knoll across the highway on the other side.

Ok, this is where the physics come in, what would it take to put on over the first fence, and about 60 feet further and clear the 6' gator fence to deposit cargo into the target area?

Here is a pic that should give some insight. The names have been changed to protect the innocent gators as well as the location. This is not the actual location, but very similiar.

We can call the first four Tom, Ralph, Norton and Alice.

I think it would be worth your while to drive up to Tybee Island in Georgia, and just feed them to the gators at The Crab Shack. That way you wouldn't have to pay the 50 cents for the gator food. (Insert the sounds of screaming and sobbing children, here.)

Welcome to the insanity,Frosty03.
Them there are some good lookin' Gates.Dan would be proud.
I don't see much of a problem delivering crats to that feeding ground.Most gators I been around,(more than I wanted)will feed at night.Under a full moon,you can sneak around without too much trouble.
Now a crat tossed in all them leezards will high tail it outta there,so ya gotta even up the playing field.
Duct tape the crats FRONT legs together.This not only slows em down some,it also makes for alot of noise.Gators love noise.If the crat lands in the water thats even better.Taped up it would make noise much like a top-water popper.
If you have more than one serving,attach collars to three or four and tie all together with 3 foot of Parachute cord to each.
If you spin this assembly around your head with both arms,you will create a Bolo(google please) effect.Besides getting great range,the gates will thank you for their new squeak toys.After two or three nites of catering,you can walk among em,they might even follow ya home.

p.s.I like the small one about 9:00 in the pic.
You could almost consealed carry that one.

poletax-

Imagine this--your bolo hangs over a limb with the weights equidistant from the limb (read two of them scratching, screeching, and caterwauling) dangling over the munching machines gathered below waiting for one to fall. Wouldn't that be a sight for the zookeeper to find first thing in the morning? Who's gonna walk in there and remove them from the tree? How about asking someone to shoot the rope in two and just let nature take its course? Isn't that what the huggers are always advocating--letting nature take its course? And, did you notice that the big one in the foreground is already grinning in anticipation - either he read your post or mine.

And, I just thought of another use for the bolo--hang one over a south Tx mesquite limb and voila!!! -- we have an instant coyote caller.

So, you want to launch a crat to a swarm of gates clearing a 12' fence near and a 6' fence far. Now my trebouchet cratlauncher idea mounted in a pickup would work. You could even do a drive-by.

Somebody get me the ranging data from the nearest walmart parking lot. I'll go down and set up my trampoline crat launcher with the double garage door springs. It can launch a whole seabag of crats one time. pg might have to help me workout the azimuth part. pt can start collecting cat threesomes to put in the bag.

Bolo'd,,,we'll call this 'Rigging-Grapeshot'.

I'd like to watch a seabag of these launched down a row of parking meters.

My God ,why do I come in here?

Think about the tater canon that DD posted on. It has merit.
