All 3 were released along the same path to a wood land/canal river area park. I hope they have a nice reunion.

Very nice post and thanks for doing it the humane way. Mother and the babies probably appreciate it but will have a hard time showing it. We have to remember that the critters were here long before we cut their forest down and claimed it as ours. They are just like us, trying to exist from day to day. For your part Ralph you will earn some good karma for your humane actions.  :D :D


Cheers  :beer:

I shoot a few back in the day, when I was in West by God Virginny for a turkey farmer. When the turkey are in the field for the last part of the feed lot operation. The domestic turkey is the stupidest animal breathing. the chucks will chase the turkeys in to the corner of the fence line and they will pile to the top of the fence post killing the ones on the bottom of the pile.
Not to mention eating the feed,  But now if your not going to eat it, why kill it. is the way I look at it now. Only a 5 minute drive round trip to release em in a park area. Besides don't have to listen to the wife complain about killing em for the rest of my life! Since she would forget about them eating the flowers. But never forget if I killed em. :bugeye:
Neighbor is a big time hunter/fisherman. He is the only licensed trap in the county. Sells muskrat pellets. He is always offering fresh game or fish. Have to say no as wifey say's if it don't have a price tag on the package she isn't eating it  :lol:

B Hammer, looked to me to be the same import cage with a fancy brand on it and they wanted $75.95 on sale at the local "real" national hardware store!
Would have had to do the same to that one too.
The other problem is I don't own anything in a smaller caliber long gun. To many neighbors always watching

Canned tuna works great for raccoons. Mama raccoons growl like a mountain lion when you walk up to them in the trap. Don't ask me what I did first time they happened.  :D

The momma chuck's snap there buck beavers at 90 miles an hour! sounds like a pneumatic chisel in hard wood  :Doh: Thought it was eating way thru the wire cage at first!

To be honest I have not shot an animal in twenty years. However when it comes to varmints my first thought still goes towards the gun collection and which would be best for the job.

I bought the trap because he/she was causing some minor damage around the house. Have not noticed anymore damage so he/she is still roaming free.
