Cliff R Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Used to trap a LOT back in the 1970's, and made good money at it. These days it's difficult to find a place to trap and fur prices are chit...... Edited April 18, 2020 by Cliff R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R Posted April 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've actually tried live trapping and relocating animals that have found their way into my chickens. They have a built in "homing device" and many find their way back. About 5 years ago I caught a big grey Tom cat. I took him about 3 miles and turned him loose near a lake with lots of homes around it. Next night caught him again. So I drove him 13 miles North of here to some State Game lands, couple of nights later caught him again!......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioactive Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Not sure why it rotated - posting pics kicks my ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) I have the same issues, it rotates almost every pic I try to post. I have to go into "pictures" and open them up, rotate them, close the window, then go back in, open it again and rotate them back to where they should be, then close the window again. This gets them about 80 percent of the time. It would probably be 100 percent if I wasn't computer "illiterate"!.....DUH.....

Dragonscout Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Great stories guys! The wife was raised in Miami and has/had a strong aversion to me killing possums and raccoons. Early on we never had in house pets as her health conditions prevented it, but she LOVES cats and loves dogs. Lose my job in the 90's and have to move to the Kansas City area. She becomes the local "cat lady" feeding strays and finding homes for them. Great, keep it up. One day a 20 lb. cross-eyed cat shows up and sits in my daughter's lap and falls asleep and we're done...Now, we have 3 pure indoor cats, down from 5 (had to put 2 down recently) and one that's outside that the wife has been trying to find a home. He came up as a kitten and was eating birdseed. The inside cats for the most part REALLY don't care for him, but the screen keeps them civil and all are well fed. They are all funny since they watch out the back yard and caterwaul when a possum or raccoon shows up. I go out and pop mostly the possums, and even had a 20 lb armadillo show up the other night. I don't like that new trend, since they carry diseases others don't. After my two surgeries in 2016, the two big males would wait till I got in the recliner to sleep (right rotator, tendon and bicep and a tricky knee procedure) . The minute I pulled up the poncho liner (yea, still use 'em) the cats hopped up, made themselves comfortable and didn't move til I got up from the chair. Don't know if we have them, or they have us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
