Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Yes, I have...

Not me my truck got the window up just in time . The ride the rest of the way was not fun . and washing it off wasn't either .

Me too - several times as a kid while trapping, and once as an adult while drunk. "Hold my beer and watch this."

I've only driven through fresh road killed skunk and that chit burned my eyes & I felt like the smell was stuck in my nose for hours afterward. I can't imagine actually getting sprayed. I'm quite sure the smell would have me throwing up.

Ya'll enjoy the rest of your night. I'm off to bed.

You must have only been misted . close to them it's like fire hydrant. Well maybe not that bad the skunk was two feet from the truck .

Silly man. How are you? What's Ben up to?

Ben is eating pizza and drinking Dr.Pepper. And good and no good

Get outta here! Did she really post that??



Aww, now what'd ya do that for!?? Ya should've left it.



Yep, he's a keeper!!

I hope there are enough Pondies on so we can play a little guessing game.

This was the first night I had to immediately put ducks to bed when I got home because it was already dark. What's the last thing you wanna encounter lurking around the coop?

Yep she sure nuf did!

Just out of curiosity, why are you putting the nests on the floor, rather than 3-4 feet up, where you can collect eggs w/o standing on your head?

What pyxis said

Because ducks lay on the ground I would love it if I could convince mine to use raised nesting boxes, but I don't see that happening, lol.

Mine already do enough trying to commit suicide jumping off off stuff and not flapping their wings! *Thud* oh look. . I'm limping. .wonder why.

Spoiled!

We caught one in a dog-proof trap a few months ago at camp. It was still alive when i arrived. Only had pistols with me, and didn't want to get that close. Called the neighbor to bring me a rifle. Her husband wasn't home, so she came with a .22 and I had to shoot the thing. Yep, it sprayed before i got it dead.

I trapped a while bunch of them one summer..... My neighbors always drown them.....I take them a couple miles away and let them go..... Them suckers can run like crazy when you open that door up.....

Good You can have my share I've never trapped one . But like everything else if it leaves me alone I'll leave it alone . Here they carry rabies and can be dangerous if they bite .

We have some that run around the house too, my neighbor saw a whole family of them one day. Bunch of little ones! I hate to wake up in the morning and smell that smell! Ugh.

I told hubby to toss the trap that one got caught in, but i think he soaked it in something and finally got the smell off it.
