I let the mouse go...

[maizey]

the one that ran up my arm when I reached in the feed bin without looking first got away...far far away... as I did a slinging, screaming, whirling dirvish kind of judo arm manuver. Don't know where it went, but I imagine we were running at the same speed in opposite directions, course it did get the flying head start. Gives me the heeebiegeebies still...

Yup..i always set them free if i find them alive and not injured..(from my cats). I just cant kill them. Actually i have had many a fight with my cat, Rosco, over a tasty mouse hes tormenting.

Although..i'm kinda messed up..cause i also have snap mouse traps in my house too. I cant make up my mind..

Kind of barbaric isn't it?

Sounds to me like you're trying to confuse those poor little mice...

P.S. thebritt -

I figure that scenario (or at least with a feed bin of some kind) has happened many times. So it's good to hear that at least a few others' experiences ended on a happy note too

Chickens remind me of velicorapters or T-rex. When I carry treats to them and they all rush me, I say to myself, "Don't fall down."

I hope I would do that too; can't kill baby animals, it's just wrong. I snap trap mice in the basement but caught one by the extreme, like last vertebra, tip of his tail one time and let him go as well as any that have been caught but undamaged by the plastic traps which fell from the rafters and popped one side open. I don't like to trap them at all but we can't find their entrance. Anybody have an ingenious way to find their ingress?

 

[Attack Chicken]

When I was in school the last few years we had chickens there. In another tent like thing is were they stored the bags. I'd get one of my class mates out there and tell them to "Watch that small hole right there to see if any seed comes out." You would of thought they would of known right then but nope!

Anyways I'd turn the bag towards them and start making noise at the other end. OH boy you should heard people scream and run!

Still wont ever forget the time when a mouse jumped out of that hole and on to one of the guy's crotch!
