    I caught a raccoon & another & another ***GRAPHIC PICS*** pic heavy

    Good job!! Coon activity really slowed down in my area after I trapped a string of them this spring. I'm sure they will be back with the return of cold weather.

    I just caught a neighborhood cat trying to get at my girls!!!

    Thanks once again to the cat lovers for jumping in and telling us to gently shoo these cute cuddly predatory invasive species away or to call animal control. NO. Shoot the dang things and get on with raising your chickens. Feral/free range cats are an enormous problem in the U.S. and I don't...

    Best way to kill cats? *Yeah I think the cats could have done it*

    I sat through a similar "talk" a few years ago. Like he said, they don't let logic and facts get in the way of anything related to saving the precious kitties. They just don't see any problem at all letting a non-native invasive species roam freely while feeding entirely on native wildlife and...

    Best way to kill cats? *Yeah I think the cats could have done it*

    Feral cats=Invasive species that are extremely detrimental to native wildlife. Easiest way to get rid of them discretely is a .22 with subsonic ammo. Legal and effective.

    If it is cats or coons(or any type of critter) crawling over the fence, a single strand of electric fence wire mounted on stand-offs 6" out from the top of the chain link will do the job quite effectively.

    Is this a Coyote or Fox?

    That is definitely a mangy Red Fox. Black legs with a red coat. He is in rough shape.

    Yellow Jackets and Paper Wasps

    Do you call yellow jackets and ground bees the same thing? Are they the same? I found a nest earlier this year in the ground near the sidewalk. They were a little too aggressive where they were located so I dispatched the nest and sealed the entrance. I have noticed a ton of the yellow ones in...

    Cooper Hawk

    I have to chuckle every time I read this. Not trying to be negative but CDs hanging in your yard only accomplish one thing. They make your yard look like a dump. Like "snake repellants", which are completely innefectual(search for real scientific data), they are a waste of time and money and...

    That stray cat..

    According to this post, the topic is about stray and feral cats (invasive species/predators/pests) not pet cats that are properly kept indoors.

    That stray cat..

    The problem is that cats hunt and kill for pleasure/entertainment. They are efficient predators that are extremely devastating to native animals and wildlife. If you have problems with rats and mice then you are lacking in natural predators such as hawks, owls, snakes and the like which...

    That stray cat..

    I won't say that it was all legal. Animal control wouldn't do anything for me because the cats were just transient and not "living" on my property. The couple who bought the property obviously had more sway in dealing with them because they owned the land. My neighbors to the left and right were...

    That stray cat..

    I will put on my flame suit and tell the story of when I moved into a new house in Mound, Minnesota. The house that backed up to my property was owned by a "cat lover". They fed cats outside and left the basement windows open to allow any cats free reign in their cat hotel. Although it was a...

    Two separate raccoon problems.

    Usually a sprung trap with nothing in it is a sign of coons reaching in and setting it off from the outside. Build a box to fit around the sides of the trap to prevent "reach-ins" and your catch rate will go way up. Stake or weigh your traps down. Coons are insanely strong. Wire your bait cans...
