Raccoon in duck coop

[Soon2BChixMom]

we were trapping squirrels one year for training our squirrel hunting dogs (all squirrels were released unharmed btw) but a raccoon got in the trap and mangled it!

Sounds like it wasn't the right trap for the raccoon.

probably not....it was the largest of a cheap variety pack at rural king....we prefer our dog proof toe traps when actually trying to trap raccoons

We kept catching skunks in our live trap. It might have been the same one over and over actually. We talked about putting a little paint on it to test. I don't like to dispatch skunks, they just look at you nearsightedly and blink. Raccoons are a totally different matter, we lost a small dog to a couple of them years ago.

Sorry for this very off-topic thing but I find it interesting that it seems like most people have a gun. Gun laws are different here, and the only people who should have them are hunters and police I think.

You are entitled to think that I suppose. I will continue to enjoy the rights granted to me in this country.

I have guns, lots. In the master bedroom of my house

I use them at ranges for sport shooting and target practice. Like whittleing and lighting a fire its a charecter building life skill everyone should have!

The right to bare arms is there for us to fight an ufair and unjust government. Not that we could if we tried anymore but thats the point, its a staple of freedom. And a rite of passage for young people.

Drugs are illegal but criminal still have it. if guns were illegal only criminals would have them. Very scary

Not to mention i could build a very simple gun that fires shotgun shells for 17$ at homedepot. or evan one that used black powder... So theres going to be guns no matter what and i feel better knowing most are owned by sensible people

I dont hunt Did when i was a kid


And i like knowing that if someone breaks in i can turn their torso into pink mist

I totally agree with everything Jpat said!

I guess you think that's really neat and I realize you in Australia have already voted that in! Whoopee for you! Now you now that if you or your family should need protection you will have what to protect you? Oh wait, the government right?

I prefer to have the ability to be able to protect myself, my family and my property if the need should arise. You can't at least not with a gun which is by far the most effective! I've got enough guns to arm a 3rd world country but I only use them for sport such as target practice but if the need should arise, to defend my household. We don't kill animals or people but if things go to hell in a handbasket by God we will be able to take care of ourselves without having to depend on the government! Can you say the same?

It's amazing what we do when we have too. We have to protect our selves and our animals. But it sure can be hard. Ever cornered a opossum? My dogs did once and boy that thing showed it's teeth and growled . Thankfully it was on the other side of the fence.

Poor opossum came to the front door last night. Something had been after it. It
Was bloody. Poor little possum.

Bare arms? Like no sleeves?

I meant to say arm bears. The rite to arm bears.

And thanks @DuckyDonna!
