We decided to set out some Havahart traps,("live box traps") so that we can see some of the creatures of the night. We set out a small trap with the hope of a Weasel or Mink, and a large trap with the hope of anything but a SKUNK. We baited both with a chunk of bluefish. Now before school, early in the morning, we bundle up and venture out to check our traps, and we will check them once in the evening.
The kids appear to enjoy our latest endeavor.
When I was a youngster, there was the one time, while staying with my buddy at the Cape, we caught a skunk before church. His dad was not amused sitting next to us during the service.
I promise, I will not send them to school smelling like a skunk.

ReplyDeletetreks. I pray the children realize how very blessed they are... not every child has the great chances they do. Love to all, Mom
