Okay I have told you about killing rattle snakes. We are on a gate at Artesia Wells. Our neighbor has a friend that took the skin on the smaller snake and made me a hat band....with the rattles attached. It was a better skin than the big ones were.

Tell me more. You do have to have a wifi or cellular signal to use it, right?
Some people have difficulty understanding MiFi (BTW I am NOT an expert)and that it works off of the cellular signal-3g or 4g. If your booster gets a strong cellular signal, your MiFi should work. We have never been able to get good video, if any. But we do have internet and e-mail. We are using a SOHO YX 545 which amplifys an EXISTING signal and it works well. Andy (www.myoldrv.com) has several good articles about boosting your signal and acquiring internet on his blog. We went with Virgin when they offered unlimited internet at $40 a month. They now have added to their contract that they can limit any usage above 5 gigabytes-but we have never had a problem. You can purchase the MiFi used for under $50, or just over $100 new. You should check with your cellular provider and if they offer MiFi. It makes it a lot simpler to have all your devices with one company. BTW-read the fine print carefully as most companies limit your usage-only a few truly offer unlimited usage.

OK all you gate guards with canines-our vet has a vaccine for rattlesnake bites. It is a two step process and lasts over a year. You will still have to get the animal to the vet after a bite. However our vet says the difference is night and day as far as saving the animal. You basically are buying some time and increasing the odds of survival with these shots. You might want to check with your vet.

Chiquita had the shots a few years ago and she does get the annual booster. The cost is around $30±/shot, but that is way less than the antidote, if the dog has not had the vaccine. Yes, in this part of the country, the vaccine is almost a necessity, especially if you use a long leash or allow them to roam. Our Vet in Runge also has the vaccine and she is an awesome Vet, with very reasonable prices.

If your booster gets a strong signal why would you need the booster? Did you mean if the booster creates a strong signal?

Thanks for the reply.
Could you recommend a decent cell booster. We have ATT cell phone and get in and out signal where we are. We have a Verizon MiFi that gets a fairly decent ssignal for the computer. Would like a better phone signal.
Thanks
