Nuisance Trapping

Hmm, our chipmunk invasion has one less member. Had a bucket of water sitting by the deck and sure enough one got in it and drown. Daughter came in crying telling me about it. Said well, give it a proper burial....shovel is in the garage. She looked at me like WTF LOL!
 
I've killed 45 of the damn things the past two years just by the chicken coop, but with no chickens left I haven't had the traps out. Saw one on the deck the other morning so set out a DP. Cat food for dinner. lead for dessert.

Wednesday evening I was sifting through my hunting gear when I flushed a little varmint out from under the lid of one of the totes. There were mice in the camper this year and after a week of no luck trapping in there, I suspect these two were stowaways that found their way inside the garage. Caught one Thursday night, then reset the trap with the same bait and caught another. Good start to my trapping season 😂

Moles, hate em!!! Moles, despise em!!! We’ve lived here for 20 years and last year is first time I really noticed much activity around our house and front yard/field. This year it’s grown to apocalyptic proportions. I’ve also noticed how bad our neighbors and daughter/SIL place have been dealing with them. I’ve caught about 10 of the lil bastards this year and they’re giving the squirrels a run for their money for being a petulance. Here’s the latest victim from today.
