There's a serious crack in that wall.  I'd be afraid to lean a ladder against it.  :D

Hahah. See if this paints the picture for you……..

I had to move a box springs to set my ladder up and there is no dryer hose anywhere near that exhaust……..

 

seems like a few squirrels might church the place up a little

That’s a nice one! I think it takes a whole lot of practice, I don’t skin anything because it takes me forever also. I know a guy though! He can have a raccoon done in around 8-10 minutes if he’s in a hurry 

I have an uncle that's one of those guys. He's been trapping 60 years or so. Skinned, scraped and on the stretcher in 10min or so. When you've done thousands, ya get purty good at it.

Saw a pair of nesting blue herons, then a beaver up close, then a pair of owls tonight on a walk with the wife. We live in the middle of Charlotte- it was the craziest 20 min of wildlife I’ve seen in a long time!

You got it!  There’s a bunch of them in my lake. 

Yeah, I never tried one yet. I was thinking about it but didn’t have time to fool with him today with church and all. 
I let him go in  a pond where there’s already a bunch of them.

They have eaten nearly 3 feet in from my lakefront ! Not putting up with it anymore…

Their pelts were worth a decent price but there are very few left down here. Nutria Rats can completely take over an area to the point of causing damage.

Caught a skunk in a trap meant for groundhog, it made itself a pine straw cacoon in the trap. Then sprayed me. Caught a sneaky raccoon that avoided capture for 2 weeks. And of course Alvin, Simon, or Theodore the singing chipmunk E09-D0401-D126-48-E4-A036-9-BDB47-F5-F8-
