    Is an all-sand run acceptable for quail?

    Does anyone know what this two tone baby Beauty is??

    What to do about the raccoons?

    For some of us who live within city (town) limits, discharging firearms is illegal. Drowning trapped pests/predators is an option. It is unfortunately not as fast (humane) as an accurate shot but is fairly quick and probably more humane than inaccurate shots. A plastic garbage can mostly...
