on the Apache res there a community across the river where the old folks live the youngster's call it ben gay..

I didn't think it funny they did though..

A friend that "snow birds" in Texas said the locals down there call them "Q-tips".....for their white hair and white shoes

I try not to wear white shoes after he told me that..

..the white hair ain't goin' anywhere....or at least I hope it isn't!

My husband just sent me a message about our chicken loss.. I'm working on killing the raccoon. He says your so cute when your angry cause I know your sitting there on byc and rage knitting a rug for the kitchen he knows me so well

Correction. It's not the raccoon, it's all the raccoonS. There's always more than one with many more to take their place when they're gone.

And now trap wise.

ETA, you must be in the wilderness.
I'm in the suburbs. If I set traps every night, I'd probably catch several a week. Then there is the assistance from cars with all the dead ones on the road.
Most rural areas have 20 or more raccoons per square mile.
Cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, New York and St. Louis have 100 or more per square mile.
Some have huge territories. Urban raccoon females may have a territory of as small as 7 acres and can share it with related females. Rural males' territories can be as large as 20 sq. miles.
They like to climb for protection so they are uncommon in prairies, perhaps as little as one per square mile.

This Is The First We Have Had In 10 Years. If they don't bother us we don't normally bother them but now it's war.

But yeah I'm not wilderness but definatly not suburbs, I have a acrage that's a hobby plot, all the neighbors are dairy farmers and I'm in se mn near the wisconsin border. All gravel roads closest town is 3k pop, second closest city is 150 k pop. So it's not bad

Welcome Lilmynx glad you joined the old "tooters" home- plenty of rocking chairs to go around. I think they ended the bingo games due to the violence and blood shed, try to separate two ladies yelling Bingo at the same time.!
