Official Squatch Watchers

Good morning! Haven't even been outside yet, going to wait until 8 it is still 32 degrees out there so i'm not in a huge hurry to go freeze. Negan is fully awake though, no mistaking that.:)
Love that 32° is too cold for you. LOL I'm excited the high for today is 37° though I doubt it will get that warm.
I am curious as to how you're offering the offenders?
 
Lol! I'm not a fan of the cold, not at all. I'm offering my offenders a leg trap, in a shallow bucket secured to the ground but my bait is wired to the trigger plate so they can't snatch it and possibly get leg trapped as intended. Instead they have to go full face into the bait which gives a nice mafia style broken neck. Very, redneck but effective and minimal suffering. So buckets of doom, that is how i'm murdering. The last thing they see is home depot.:)

That sounds like a good way to dispatch them. If I ever need to rid myself of predators I’ll keep this method in mind.
 
It works really well. My traps are old so they're pretty serious. The buckets have a hole in the bottom, I have these giant nails that get threaded through the closest chain link on the trap and then through the bucket hole. Only one slightly moved my setup, the giant possum leaned my bucket with body weight. I should have weighed that possum, it was bigger than the coon.

Form response from Walmart ...

Hi Stacey,

We have reviewed your email and want you to know that we have shared it with the appropriate team.

Thank you for contacting Walmart where we are always happy to help!

I figured a form letter if anything would be what you got.
:mad:

Hopefully they DID do a "Hey clear out anything that looks like this." Memo.

I been up since 4. Puppy is a spunky ball of teeth! She's doing well with the other dogs.
She snuggles Jack for snooze time, avoids Delilah for the most part, and has rousing games of closely supervised "whose mouth is bigger" with Sable.

Going to schedule a vet visit for Saturday. New puppy, second dewormer and such.

This morning she has circled at the back door every time she needed out.
:yesss: Clear signals!

Follow the 3 S's: Shoot, Shovel, Shut up.
We don't shoot anymore.. last time my dad tried he destroyed a cage and the monster wouldn't die. We carbon monoxide them.. seems nicer since they just fall asleep and die.

Any ideas? What do you do with a bunch of dead coons? I can't bury them the ground is frozen. I could just chuck them but hubs will probably notice an extra 25 or so pounds in the garbage. Tempted "but of course I won't" to just put them over the fence and send them home to daddy since he's housing them.:caf
Does where you live have a dead animal pick up thing? Some places here have people who scrape them off the road. If you do, maybe they would take them. Otherwise, is there a wooded area around you? We tossed our last one into the woods behind the house b/c it was too muddy to dig.

I was actually in Maryland when that quake happened that damaged the Washington Monument and the National Cathedral. It was the freakiest thing I ever experienced. I was talking to my manager while I was at work and I heard a rumbling, like a VERY large truck going by and then the building started shaking under our feet.
We had one here years ago and it felt the same. I was sitting on the bathroom floor and thought it was some kid's system as he drove by. I didn't know until I looked on fb. Didn't do any damage, but it was weird.

When my kids were little we read, A LOT.
I was fine reading them books in the daytime, but it was such a struggle for me at night! By page 3 I’d be yawning. By 7 or 8 I’d be falling asleep sitting up!
It was as if someone shot me with an anesthetic.
They would all get so irritated with me!

Oh gosh. I’m laughing thinking about it.

I always had to pre-approve the book of the night.
If it wasn’t lively, there was ZERO chance I’d make it to the end.

The odd juxtaposition here is that I could read in bed for hours without falling asleep.
I do that too! Like at the end of every single page I'd yawn, but I wasn't tired. I still do it. IDK why, but it's so weird. These are books I liked too. Strangest thing. So glad I'm not the only one.

Iv'e been outside...i'm a serial killer. Two possums, one flippin huge and one normal possum size and one coon decent sized. Possums over the fence and back to nature, coon is in my wheelbarrow covered up until it gets warmer. Would have waited on all of them but my barrow is tiny. So i'm like the Ted Bundy of possums and coons now. I feel bad but thats three less chicken eaters.:)
I used to feel bad, but then I remember that they'd murder my chickens w/o hesitating so then I wouldn't feel bad anymore. It helps that I know their death rather painless.

So it's like a giant mouse trap. I like that idea, but in my case I'd worry about catching a cat or bunny so I can't use something like that. I've caught Tubbs at least twice. Once he was in the cage an entire day b/c my mom didn't realize it had gone off. That stupid cat. I stopped putting out the rat traps right now b/c the bunns are hanging out around the coop right now. I can see their foot prints in the snow.

Walmart #1 only had 4 packages out.
So fresh they were still frosty.
All looked good.
Interesting because the other day there were stacks of packages.
At least 15.
Hmmmm.
Maybe they were told to check them!
To be continued....
Hopefully it's taken care of now. I'm wondering if they'd been throwing away packages of them all this time and not knowing why. I still think that people who uses them probably know that those ones aren't safe to use & probably picked through the packages to find ones that weren't contaminated.
 
Ok Walmart #2 yielded one package out of 13 with just two, possibly three smaller bumbles.
(Didn’t make it to the third Walmart today)

I feel like the bumblefoot police and am imagining myself in the security tapes.
March in.
Rake through the chicken paws.
Take pictures.
Leave.

I’ll be known as the weird lady in the red coat. :gig


@apryl29 , im with you! I’m hoping that the people who eat them on the reg. know which ones to throw away.
Like their mom or grandmom told them -“See this? It’s nasty. Don’t eat this one.”

Girl, you're in there playing with packs of chicken feet. Honestly i'm proud and really tickled at it all. You are doing stuff that wal-martians might find strange. Just for that i'd hug you in half.:gig

Like my hat? The chickens are not fans. They're going to have to let me have this though, it is wool! :p
