I have lost over 30 birds to a racoon over the last 3 weeks. At first it was just the free range birds, then it was the ones that bedded down too close to the edge of the electro net. Two nights ago, it got into the hoop house, inside the electronet!

I have tried to trap it, snare it, scare it.... nothing.

I think I am going to stake out tonight with a shotgun.

I hate racoons.

I hate raccoons too!! 30 birds is alot. Sorry about that. If you put some eggs or a dead chicken in a trap, it works pretty good, most of the time at least. I hope you get it, and when you do, remember: Kill it. Don't let it go!! GL!!

Caught a raccoon in the trap. I baited it with a cob of corn. Hubby took it out to the field and shot it.

I hope that is it but I am going to stake out again tonight.

Took the day off to take hubby in to get his stent removed. He had to have surgery last Friday for his stones.

So he is relaxing on the couch and I am doing all the barn chores in 95 degrees. It is OK. he needs to rest.


What a way to spend my birthday.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I know what you mean about chores in the heat. I was weeding the garden today when it was almost 90degrees. I was dripping sweat within 10 minutes.

Happy Birthday!!!

Hopefully you'll get to do something this weekend to make up for it.

Your very nice to let him rest. I know those surgeries in the mid section are very uncomfortable for weeks. Oh and those air bubble that have to get worked out, oooo.

Happy Birthday.
