All didn't go according to plan though , I found out that the hornets are still out
And I have to take the RonCo Lh 1.0 back to the shop for a little more "beef" .
I guess in my exuberance I exceeded the weight capacity LOL
There is not much worse than finding a hole in the side of your cabin and Porkys inside when you arrive. They are filthy, destructive animals that eat almost anything and piss & crap on everything else.
Just fishers. I guess they reach under them and flip them over then kill them.I have never been around porcupines. I didn't know they were so destructive. Do the adults have any natural predators to fear, other than us 2 leggers?
On that note IIRC the only predator of skunks are great horned owls.If U got any for sale, let me know Ha Ha Ha!
I guess when the Bears, Coyotes and Bobcats can't get ya, life it good!
Look for Fishercat videos on the web. They're pretty aggressive. They flip the porkys over and attack the belly.Do the adults have any natural predators to fear, other than us 2 leggers?
Ahhh... great story from a small town in Massachusetts. MA stopped trapping and hunting of Beaver in the late '80s or early '90s(as I remember it) and maybe even released some into the wild to rebuild the population. A pair of beavers builds a dam at a culvert under the only road through the center of town shortly after. The wetland next to the road floods until water is level with the road. Townsfolk want to remove the beavers but the state says "No!" So the town brings in an excavator and opens the dam. About a week later, the dam is back, bigger than ever, and the water level is up to the road. So the town clears out the dam and takes out as much dead wood and a bunch of live trees as they can, clearing a wide area around the water next to the road. Worked for a while. But pretty quickly the beavers got enough wood together to rebuild the dam. I used to drive through this town sometimes on my way to work and I knew a few of the people involved so it was entertaining to watch this battle. Man vs Nature and all... So now the town officials are trying to get permission to trap the beavers, the dam is left in place, and the water level stays within inches of the road for several weeks with no changes. I guess someone else was having fun watching the battle, too, and must have grown bored waiting for the town because one evening as I passed the beaver dam I spotted something new at the dam site. A hand painted 4 X 8 sheet of plywood was set up like a scoreboard reading "Beavers: 2 Town: 0."My animal nemesis is definitely Mr Beaver. It's nonstop at our cabin with them.
I guess I need bigger owls. Skunks are in my yard often and my 2 house dogs are slow in learning the difference between cat and "pole cat". Both dogs have been sprayed 3 or 4 times. Baking soda and peroxide solution is the best wash I have found to almost get the smell off.On that note IIRC the only predator of skunks are great horned owls.
We used to have a really big fisher by my old house. Thing was the size of a badger. You would only see it when it crossed the road from time to time.

Officially the beavers abandoned the site for an unknown reason. Unofficially, I heard they were harassed by small explosives until they left. I dunno, but after a few more months they were gone to never return.
It is amusing if it is someone else's problem but people have lost control of a lot of their land when it is designated as a wetland. Beaver trapping has become quite popular around here.
Agreed. NH has a different attitude by far. I know someone who actively, legally traps here.
BTW, have you read these dam letters? True story.

GO-JO hand cleaner without the pumice in it. Lanolin based so no harm to pups. Fooled around with dang near everything else. scent is a musk oil, oil/ grease removal is exactly what go-jo is for. rub in to coats and hose them off . 1 shot will do 99% won't dry their skin out.I guess I need bigger owls.
