I have a rule here on the farm- certainly things my brotherinlaw is allowed to shot(neither my hubbie or I could shoot anything) possums , skunks, and coons doing damage or living in the buildings have to go. Coyotes, and fox get caught in a humane trap and relocated unfortunately it is my understanding they will find their way back no matter how far out you take them . So we made a deal the back half of the farm is their the front half of the farm is ours - they do tend to break the agreement when my girls come in heat. and Evan you do not take food out of a hungry animals mouth - that mouse probably when on to raise 200 more mice all trying to get into your house Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
