stopped past my favorite local gun shop on the way home tonight. don't tell my wife

What a crappy day outside. i think I will be headed out to work on hanging garage door openers in my garage tonight. anything is better than sitting around being assaulted by the non-stop political ads on the tv!

Dusted the chickens again. Except one. She is really, really good at avoiding my grasp. I will get her tonight when she roosts. I think I am coy. We will see if I am successful.

Look. you'll be able to get a Veni Steak Sandwich at Arby's in November. St. Louis Park, Cloquet and St. Cloud (2 locations).

i saw pictures of that thing today and the 'steak' looked about an inch thick. no way you could bite through that and not pull the whole chunk of meat out of the sandwich

Aaron just posted on my FB page this afternoon that some of the entries have just gone in the mail and next batch is in the works. He also said he was going to work on a PDF version so we can just print it off.

Its a nice laid back and smaller show... Perk side for me is that its only 14 miles from home. I'm going to try and take only fri/sat off work. I can hopefully coop out sunday morning and still make it in for a 10 hour shift at work yet. Starlings have invaded my barn right now and all the foofoo's are crapped full. I have to bathe them up before I can even tell what's decent or not. Some of the whites I may not be able to get clean. I have a couple faverolles males in condition, but the hens are in a hard molt. Some of the polish are through their molt. I have some muscovies that I'm tempted to bring and show... We have some gorgeous standard cochins too. Bathing in end of November though and keeping something that size in the house is a bit harder than bantams...

Rested on this blah day of rain . Here is my tip of the day . I started using a Z trap dogproof trap . Did not catch much at first . I watched a trapping video on these . Fill the tube with bait . Makes a big difference . The coon gets some free food before he gets caught . I use soft dog food . The soft dry stuff in packets .

Came home to this in my live trap! Live trap is strategically positioned between my coop and my house. So a black and white cat holds me hostage.

whoever said coons are not worth anything never fed them to their chickens! this should be a poster hung outside the chicken coop as a warning.

FYI I would not let them consume the carcass raw . Raccoon round worms are different than other roundworms . They can travel to other areas other than intestines in other species . Like brain , organs or eyes . Behaves badly in other animal species . This from a guy who has toxoplasmosis parasite in one eye .
