I think it was tubebender who commented upon the rabies problem in his area.
I would like to report that last husband (occasional FReeper coolbreeze) did his part last night in curbing the rabid raccoon population we have here in Accomack County. Well he did have a bit of assistance from the “ever alert” 11yo girl child and the 12 gauge.
This one was really unusual as it was a full grown male. In the past we’ve only had to deal with females and offspring messing with the outside cats’ food.
Dang those reports startled me, even though I knew to expect them.
Anyway, all Jax’ kitties are safe and sound (hubby said they were all under my car or his truck when ‘coon was around) and the county is minus one more raccoon that can no longer “spread his seed” so to speak :)
You just reminded me to go out and turn on the impulse sprinkler with the motion detector and set the big trap. We got 2 wire cages finished and covered 3 rows of the strawberries last night with 4 cages to go. I must learn to post photos. I was at the feed store today and found the answer to my Blueberry depredation in a roll of 1/2 Aviary wire (looks like mini chicken wire). It comes in 2’ 4’ and 6’ X 100 and will replace the bird netting...
