Please recall my post about varmits. Well it's time for an update. After the experience with trapping a skunk and the inherent problems involved with releasing it I was a little hesitant about continuing with the live trap idea. But, seeing few other options I went ahead with the idea of using it during the daylight hours. That seemed reasonable since skunks are basically nocturnal. The idea was OK, but I didn't think about the number of squirrels we have running around our yard. You guessed it. And we found out they really don't like being caught. Since I was on the golf course it fell to The Nurse to release the angry critter. From what I was told it was too bad we didn't have a video of the release (ask her for details). The ground hog was becoming more brazen and seemed to be taunting us. So Sunday afternoon I set the trap, and baited it with a PBJ sandwich. We went off to the movie to see Mission Impossible (yes it is pretty good) and hoped for the best. Upon our return I found one very pissed off varmit with PBJ on his cheeks in the trap. Since we had dinner plans I waited until early evening to release the intruder. I can honestly say ground hogs don't really like car rides. I won't disclose the release location, but suffice it to say the varmit would have sore feet if he made it back to our neighborhood. Plus there were a lot it's cousins around to welcome the newcomer. So far no one has appeared to take it's place.
See ya at the training table,
