You lost me at, " I do not want to kill any foxes." Shoot them, use leg traps then dispatch them .... of just live with the issue.

I'm a big believer in shooting the bastids (foxes). However, in some locales, that is prohibited (not mine). Traps work. Havahart types do not. Leg traps, properly set and baited do. Of course, leg traps are not for catch and release. You have to dispatch them.

I am 70 years of age and have been raising Hy-Line 76, since a young age. I am shocked that they didn't make the list. It's not uncommon for them to drop 320-340 per year. They handle cold well and extreme heat and continue to lay without missing a beat.

Many make the claim that foxes are difficult to trap. However, I have an acquaintance that has harvest numerous foxes with leg traps.

Actually, a .30=.30 is overkill. A standard .22 rimfire works well. I have found that a .17 HMR perfect for the task.

I have an acquaintance that is a trapper. I'd estimate that over 1/3 of his income comes from his pelts and fur trade. He catches many foxes. Uses leg traps. When running his traps, he shoots the trapped foxes, using only a .22 rimfire, in order to preserve the fur. Define "live trap". The...

What blithering idiot wrote that? What you kill doesn't come back to plague your livestock. Seriously, if that came from some article ... what periodical is that idiotic? Dispatch your current predators and dispatch those that follow.

I use any method of killing 'coons that are available. From shootin' the bastids to the old Golden Malrin cola trick. Unfortunately, the manufacturers of Golden Malrin changed their formula, placing some ingredient that 'coons are repelled. Perhaps, for the smell or taste. In 2013, which was...

I fully comprehend your situation. Evil cretins let loose vermin on, or close to your property and the COWARDLY cops and game wardens won't even consider following their oath to uphold the law and skitter away like the vermin that they truly are.

So, what you're attempting to state is that there are no occupied properties closer to that river than you do? If that is not the case, face it you are making your problem someone else's problem, without getting their permission to do so.

In Nohio (special emphasis on the "No"), it is illegal to release vermin. If you catch them, on your property, you are allowed to release them, on your property, or dispatch them on your property. People that take their problem and move it to make it someone else's problem are just plain evil.

They do eat eggs and young chicks. A major part of their diet, depending on the time of year are ground squirrels and chipmunks. "Groundhogs are herbivores. They eat primarily plants such as grasses, flowers, and other vegetation. Groundhogs only eat at safe distances from their burrows...

Personally, I enjoy harvesting vermin. Not only are they a danger to my birds, but they can be rather destructive to out buildings. Some don't like the idea of eradicating cockroaches and rats. An infestation of vermin is an infestation of vermin.

This week I "harvested" thirteen raccoons and one opossum. No skunks, praise the Lord (smell can last for weeks). Just part of maintaining nature's balance.

One need recall that when a temperature is given, it is the ambient temperature (degrees in the shade, not in direct sun). If your hoop is exposed to direct sunlight, it is no wonder that the temperature varies, substantially, from the ambient temperature.

At six months, she's a bit old for Poisson Ala Bel Meneure, as peak age is 28 days old. But, she'll still probably work.

With 'yote control, I have had decent enough luck with .17 HMR, as well as .22 WMR, although .223 Remington seems to serve that control purpose the better of the three.

That is a common fallacy (raccons only at night). When there is a large coon population, you'll see them sneaking around during all day-time hours. They're not rabid, simply foraging for a hot meal. A .22 rimfire, or even a decent high power .22 air rifle (for those in urban areas) works wonders.

Negative six, Centigrade/Celsius is around twelve degrees (positive) fahrenheit. My hens have experienced minus twelve fahrenheit (close to minus twent-five centigrade). When it gets really cold, even witht their food and water in the greehouse .... they just don't come out of their coop. The...

It's good that she, under your tutelage, is making progress.
