I didn't kill him. My mate took it far to the countyside

@macgro7 did you construct that trap yourself? One of my daughters and I started looking this past weekend at DIY traps, primarily for fox. If you did, would you mind sharing your plans or a link to where the plans came from? We had four stop by for a visit the other night and while I'm not hesitant to use our .22, I would prefer a more humane way of handling things. Thanks in advance.

That's was a young one from this year.

Look kind of skinny from this angle probably sibs out there somewhere too. I'd say hunting for prey is still pretty easy here since we have had such a mild fall and winter so far. Haven't seen any raccoons on the came camera at all and we have lots. so hopefully everything predator has plenty of wild prey to fill their tummy's. I never let my guard down though and we have plenty of hawks to keep us on our toes.

It was young one so still quite small and because it was summer it had short summer coat.

I borrowed it from a friend who bought it from eBay.

Howdy. So I'm finally a bit more scovy experienced lol. Still need a bit o' help...

I'm trying to figure out how to do lilacs and pastels. I have a chocolate female, barred lavender split to chocolate male (her son, she's also split to lavender. His dad was lavender obvs), and a blue eyed blue pied male, a weird...blue eyed cream? Very light tan pied female, and blue pied female.


Lol. Someone sort me out. I also have a black female split to lavender I believe that came from the lav dad choc mom I just kept her cause she was atipico but she didn't turn out dusky. I obviously don't have much grasp on mascovy genetics at this point.

I BELIEVE I need a chocolate male to breed to blue female? And then also need a lav or split to lav to end up with some of the pastels? Is this right?
