Relocating trapped critters. How far away???

Just kill it mang...like a chicken...that you would eat!

Well, if you don't mind them dying as expressed above, why not accept responsibility and euthanize them in a more humane way than predation, starvation, or death by vehicle?

That’s a little strong, let’s keep with the relocation plan

You shouldn't relocate animals you catch in live traps.

Sometimes reality is a little harsh.

I have several live traps, hoping to catch anything that might be prowling the area around the chickens.

I've caught two chipmonks, one ground squirrel, and one possum to date.

I take them about 2 miles down the road and dump them in a huge nature preserve area.

My friend told me they would be back in a day. I've never heard of the "homing chipmonk" but maybe they exist

Anyone have experience with relocating critters and how far away to take them?

Will

If you can dispose of the critters, maybe local fish & game agent will do it for you

My relocater is a backhoe! 3' seems to do the trick, none have ever come back ...

In the spring I'll plant a tree there! I have a "few" trees to plant!
