Took a few yesterday. Down to our winter animals now,...just recently had a large slaughter. No winter garden this year,..so looks sorta barren lol. Seems quiet in winter,...very few birds,..few rabbits, however I have a doe going to drop kits this week,.

This week alone I shot 2 coons,..and 3 possums at night by the coops.

I have a problem with just about all of them if I dont keep them in check.

I just use hay and once a month or so I gotta muck it out with a pitchfork. No big deal. I'd be afraid sawdust untreated would promote termites on my property.
