Raccoons

[BlackICE]

This 3d printed feeder is modeled from a dog proof. Gives one the option of thumbs up or thumbs down. I lengthen the spout 2 times to get it long enough so that skunks can't clean it out. I would hate to deal with a skunk stuck in a dog proof.

Well I was hopping that I had gotten all of them. Then a couple of days ago a duck went missing along with eggs. The following day I was pulling out of my drive way to see a possum making its way back to the woods. It was a fat fella too. The next night my trash cans were knocked over and again something had dug arround the coop entrance. So I’m pretty sure I have more raccoons. Put a trap out last night and caught a young possum before dusk. I’ve had the young ones get in my coop before dark before and eat the heads off the chickens. So it’s gone. Back to protecting the flock. Hopefully tonight I can get the raccoon..

Put some IR /motioned triggered webcam out there to ID the critters and alert you when to lock and load.

No kidding. Last night the largest possum I’ve ever seen was just waltzing through the back yard out side the fence. It was walking along the edge paused looked at me like oh hey and kept on where ever it was headed. Went and set up my night vision and waited to see if it would come back. And luck me the ole one eye raccoon came back. He’s the one who took my first duck I remember because I took its eye. Well he came back… I haven’t had this many for years.
