I don't know, I got my Dukes set up and I've caught 10 in 3 nights... 1/3 of your tally but you've been at it longer.
Nova, your sister is in my thoughts. Hopefully things will look up soon.
All I've ever used are the live traps (which suck - mostly because you can't get the gun aimed effectively through them) and the Duke dog proof. But the Dukes seem to work pretty well. I have 4 and just last night the tally was 3 coons shot:
1 trap untouched
1 sprung but no coon
2 with coons...
Ha! OK parrots aren't birds. They're (hmmm how does censoring work... ) hot dogs with feathers.
Parrots are creepy and fascinating. But not normal birds. Parrots, Ravens, Starlings - they have feathers and wings but they are totally "other".
Hey also, why will your geese crop the grass down to nothing but leave tufts of weeds everywhere?! SPOILED! You were clearly too softhearted with them.
Well you can't make a "healthy" banana/zucchini/bran bread with unbelievably unhealthy goose eggs if you scramble them first!
(banana walnut pound cake is a thing, right?)
Ah thanks. I'll be using some in my dish for Chickenstock (and would like to blow them out earlier) but I wondered if I did it tonight if I needed to freeze and thaw etc. If they'll be good until Sat un the fridge, all the better for me (I'll be freezing the rest for baking).
The unfortunate part is the nerd component. You need to keep them well stocked with either Magic the Gathering cards or graph paper so they can generate their own D&D dungeons (adults only). Under no circumstances should you give them any ideas by letting them watch the Phoenix scenes in Harry...
1) Even if someone fills your car with uggos?
2) THE GEESE NEVER HATCHED! I blame you!
3) While I agree with your stance on poison, I have no idea where you got the anti-gun thing from (3rd paragraph). Really she just brought up what I did a bit ago about shooting a coon and figuring out...
Well if Olive has a right to her opinion then I do to my opinion that she made a lot of assumptions. And I totally am not being BFFs with EITHER OF YOU! *flounces off*
Um, kidding in case you didn't guess.
Well I just never saw where vjwilmoth stated that she was one of the bleeding heart, anti gun masses. I could be wrong and totally missed that post. (does worrying that you're not effective enough with a gun equate to bleeding heart, anti-gun masses?)
But the whole approach of the post...
