Saturday, July 12 - That's a fox of a different odor...
Seems that we may have had more than one predator in the chicken coop. Set the trap two nights ago, when my honey was over the road. Woke up yesterday morning to find the trap gone. Couldn't find it anywhere. So we let the dog out and he found it right off. Seems the critter had crawled under our riding lawn mower and was right beneath the deck of it. We tried to move it (it's one that doesn't work and was for sale at our rummage sale) and the aroma told us that we weren't messing with a fox! UCK! That skunk was still alive. Pulled the mower over on it's side and my dear 16 year old daughter got it with the 20 ga. She doesn't share m;y fear of firearms, good thing. Tried to get it out of the trap, but couldn't do it, so tossed the whole thing in the woods. Still waiting for that old fox to show up. I'd like to get it over with.
