Rabbit

[Maggie]

Buford called me to come look at the rabbit that was eating my water lilies. I took several pictures before he/she jumped off and ran away. We are being over run with rabbits for the last few years.

Now Randy. You sound just like Tim!
Try moth balls, or red pepper. their noses are very sensitive and they won't like the smell.

I talk a good killin', Crabber, but I wouldn't hurt one of them. Now a skunk is a different matter because they will kill the chickens. I have nailed 7 skunks this year and 16 last year. We haven't lost a chicken to the skunks now for three years.

Coons get our chickens. I haven't seen my hen in several days ,but she could be on the nest somewhere.
Saw 2 smashed rabbits on the road this morning and I hit a squirrel I hate that!

I know we have raccoons but they haven't been a problem. Several years back, the fellow that owns the hazelnut orchard alongside our place did some work clearing blackberries along the creek and that apparently created a lot of activity among the skunks. I trapped twenty of them that year.

How many did you trap that summer I was out there. It was alot.....

 

[Randy]

I think that was the year I got 20 of them. I got two possums this year in addition to the 7 skunks.

All my water lilies are gone from this pond. The ducks and geese discovered and destroyed them and the irises in one day. I have plenty in another pond tho.

Sorry about the double post.
