    Is it illegal for others to catch chickens in the streets? (Miami-Dade County, Florida)

    Good afternoon. I live in Miami, Florida where there are a lot of chickens. (To skip the story, scroll down for the question) Ever since a neighbor died his chickens moved onto my property, so I started feeding them and giving them water every day. The front neighbors and the neighbors on the...

    Box traps/baits/odd catches

    I've been dealing with a family of raccoons for the last couple weeks. Really just wanted to share and have others share pictures and exchange ideas. What are some interesting things people have used for bait? I found that the crunchy chips that you get at Chinese restaurants with soup work...

    Raccoon Avoiding Trip Pan in Trap for 1 Full Month

    We are having a major raccoon problem in our yard. Two raccoons are coming nightly, eating our grapes and then using our side yard as their restroom. We have small kids and have had to keep them out of the yard so they don’t go near the feces and it’s getting really old. We’ve had two live traps...

    Weasel Stealing Bait Off Trap

    Does anybody have any advice about trapping a weasel? We have lost 5 ducks to it in the last 5 weeks. We have rat traps (one loose and one in a weasel box) and a live trap set and baited with raw chicken every night and in the morning when we go out the trap hasn't been sprung but the bait is...

    Legalities of trapping a weasel

    Hi. Last year a weasel killed about 20 young turkeys, a full grown adult turkey, and some ducks on our farm. We hired a professional trapper (We'll call him Dick) to try to catch the weasel. Dick used leg-hold traps. A relative (John) – who has a trapping permit – also set a couple of traps...

    Capturing Locust?

    We have what I think are Locust (hop & fly up to about ten feet high for shot distances, making a snapping sound) on our property, which I'd like to feed to the girls. Any ideas how I might go about catching them? I don't think a cricket trap would work. They're not sworming, so it's not like...
