Something had been eating my tomoatoes, I have my garden fenced off to keep the chickens out and couldn't figure out who/what was getting my tomatoes, I was starting to blame the chipmunks! Well tonight when hubby was leaving for work he called and said he saw a "huge" opossum in the alley heading into our neighbors yard and wanted to make sure the chickens were locked up, So I went out looking in the back yard and there it was. I went in to get the camera, net (yes I was going to try and catch it) and a flashlight. I called hubby to let him know it was in the backyard and asked how "huge" was it because the one I was looking at wasn't that big! But maybe there were more around! When I can back out it was in my garden going at my tomatoes! **** opossum. I couldn't catch it due to the wire so I got a tomato stake and tried beating it. Yes I am cruel byt next time it might be my chickens (I don't think so since coop is very secure!) It wouldn't leave, so I called hubby back and he said spray it with the hose. Finally that did it. If my neighbors saw me they probably think I am crazy! Did set the trap with cat food in case it or a family member comes back! Well as I was about to post this I heard the trap snap (windows open since it is nice out!) and see the last pic got the poor little guy!
