I got the bugger!!!!WARNING-GRAPHIC PIC

The couple nights I had set a have a heart trap to catch the critter that has been digging under the day pen and eating the turkey food. The first night I set it the bugger flipped the trap and took the bait, the second night I tied the bait down. Again the animal flipped the trap and took the bait THEN pooped on my new cedar deck. Boy did that get DH mad . "That is it, he is going down!" DH fumed as he walked in the back door. "I can't believe that critter pooped on the deck. The big guns are coming out now." And they did. Last night DH set the big trap. "I ain't playing nice anymore."

This could have really put a huge dent in my flock...................








WARNING GRAPHIC PIC AHEAD!!!!!!!


















And from the looks of it we have minks too, notice the spot where the liver was taken.


I want you all to know I am a gentle soul and I don't like causing harm to animals but if pushed to the limit I will take action. So with that said if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

One LESS coon to deal with!

Hate those cute buggers but when it comes to your livestock, they go! They reproduce like a dime a dozen!

Now that is a good use for a conibear in the off season. Dang near to small for him a 160?

Nope 220

Raccoons are cute, but not when they're messing with livestock! Good job!

Good job!

220? That's a big raccoon. How do you like the Conibear? I am considering getting one.

Pooping on the deck is instant death in my book!

you might consider using a pair of the setters if you purchase 220 size or larger and learn to use the safety on the traps. A rope can be used to set them , but the setters are easier IMO
