So here is the update...my sweet hubs was able to catch one coon five nights ago and dispose of it. So I said,"Should we reset the trap in case there is more?"
"Not necessary." He said while flexing his coon conquering ego...
Fast forward to two night ago as he had dozed off while watching Hawaii 5 O on the tv downstairs...I hear the backdoor bang open and much commotion...by the time I had made it down stairs he was sheepishly standing in the dining room and mumbling something about how he knew we should have reset that trap!
Long story short...he heard a noise and ran out in his boxers (and nothing else mind you) to see a big coon streak over the fence. Now mind you I have the backyard lit up like midday, so I am merely praying that all neighbors were asleep on their sofas and not looking at the insanity in my backyard! (I am kinda sorry I missed it!)
Last night at 2 a.m. I went down to check the trap...sure enough there he was in the trap. So I came up and told honey...he said "awesome" and went back to sleep.
This morning when he went down to take care of business...that raccoon had flipped the trap upside down and worked his way out! GONE!
We try again tonite and I am making sure if it is caught, it is taken care of immediately!
Anyone else dealing with an aggravating situation out there?
Yep, the coyotes keep coming up in the yard. Drives the dogs crazy. I know they are sending a decoy to distract the dogs so they can get to the goats or chickens. I am missing two chickens. No sign of feathers or "fowl" play but they are gone. My 26 meat birds are locked up in the barn, and I pray they are safe ;-)
