This little guy has been doing midnight raids against my homestead. :eyebrownod: But I finally got him last night. It is amazing what these critters can get in to. I took him for a little ride and dropped him off in the river bottoms. If he comes back I'll be surprised. :laf:

Haha! That looks so familiar. I had a family raiding my chicken coop last year. I trapped about 4-5 of them and did the same as you - carted them off to witness relocation (I actually let mine go, though, as my daughter came along four the ride and didn't trust me :shrug: . Believe it or not they were eating the chicken food, not the chickens!
I hope your guy was working alone, Semp! Did you bait the trap? and what was he getting into?
He was raiding the garbage cans even though I had the tops strapped down with bungee cord. He figured out how to pry the lid slightly to the side and proceed to make a mess. :laf: I baited the trap with some cat food.
Iv had 2 for pets and learned that if they want into somethin....its hard to keep them out.

Way to go! I have also heard that cats can not hold their breath for over 15 minutes.

I too had one for a pet as a youngster. Whenever he did something to make me mad I would give him a sugar lump. Then watch him run to his water dish and start to wash it. I can still see the expression on his face when it suddenly disappeared. I'm not sure but I think my dad done him in when our chickens started to disappear......Not to many of them around here, but plenty down on the rivers.
Nice trap line Semp :yoyo:
