So we seem to have a problem here at the May's house. We have carried off two opossums so far. We want to get the armadillo that is digging up our yard. BUT after seeing this: Is it smart coons, armadillos, or opossums or maybe a squirrel? We set up the friendly heart trap, put in food, made a V shape fence for them to follow into the trap. Chesley put paper on the bottom to keep the poop from getting on the ground and making a mess. Well the mystery animal managed to get part of the paper out and some of the food without getting inside.
Not funny little critter...
So with some research, and some detective work and some input from friends we set it up in another place with no food but just dirt under it. Chesley even dug up some worms and put them in the dirt, like the worms will stay and wait to be eaten since animals in our yard seem to be so smart.
So stay tuned and I'll show you all what will be waiting for us in the morning... Any guesses on what we'll catch with this set up?

Oh my goodness! I'm going to guess at least one Raccoon. We watch those buggers trick the cats & dogs in our neighborhood for food all the time. Sly (and mean) little buggers.
Maddie or Mitzi?
Nothing this morning. :(
funny Martha, the dogs only sniff around it then leave.
Maybe tomorrow. I'll post as soon as we do.
Jake and Sharla will lend you Daisy... she will eat anything. On second thought she would probably eat the trap and food... and all the bushes and your car...
