just for fun. .

What was the LAST call you went out on and how did you handle it?

because business is slow and I am bored.

Chicken eating bobcat. Handled like this-



These chickens did not appreciate their nocturnal visitor. It would come at night, the chickens would be panicked and start flying and running around. When a chicken got too close, the bobcat would then snag one and pull it through the wire. It caught four chickens over a 10-day period before the trap was set The chicken pen is made of 2X4 inch weld wire and covered with the same, it is about 20 feet square and 6 feet high.

The trap was set outside the pen and baited with a beaver leg. The trap was placed inside the pen so that both the chickens and bobcat could be seen.

Muskrats in a neighborhood pond, chewed electric lines to the fountain.

Set colony traps at den entrances and some visible runs, also made a handful of pockets and faux slides guarded by 1.5's.

Set it up on Sunday and have taken four so far. Infestation is not bad, caught two first night and would see one live one each morning check until catching two more this morning when I saw no live ones. I know that doesn't guarantee I've got them all yet, but I consider it an indicator.

What size trap is that LA

It is 15 inches square by 42 inches long.

Guess business is slow all over.

I I wouldn't say slow I just got home and it's 5 minutes after 11. 1 new squirrel job first thing, picked up a coon and an opossum. Checked a beaver job, did an attic inspection and sold a mouse job on it. Checked another beaver job and went and got a bat.

Things are slow but then again, it's my slow time of the year.

Caught this one two days ago. Little attic raider...



And this chicken killer yesterday. 43 lb. female....

First thing this morning a women calls. She was trying to trap a squirrel getting her bird feader and low and behold a skunk trapped. She was using a raccoon size trap for squirrels! Easy job when they trap for you. Got paid, tipped, and her husband gave me the trap to avoid further problems.

Don't you just love that Christmas spirit?

how about you winkleman? What was your last job?

I'm almost too embarrassed to tell you. My last several jobs were all the same. Mouse work. I don't remember a year like this one for

those cute little rodents. I shouldn't complain. No ladders. I can stay warm and they keep us going all winter long.

I dont do rodents, I'm to ascared of snapping my fingers

By the way Paul, I got to use chloroform for the first time today, boy, does that stuff sure make a job run smooth, smells good too.

Mouse work is great money!

Christmas call today, set a couple cages for a coon getting under a womans trailer she just bought. She just couldnt wait, and its my third call since the business opened six months ago, so I need all the good PR.
