I am now carrying around the property but if I can find the hole, it's going to get gassed some night.
They have been trying for years to dig a den under our barn, concrete slab. One succeeded last year and I managed to see her (females are huge) dive into the hole when she saw me. I yelled to hubby get down there. They are very fast when running but she was under the barn. Hubby hopped on the atv with a 20 gauge and shot a few shots in the hole and pushed the sand back in after her. RIP.

I shot one last year with a pistol after my SIL’s dog cornered it up against a big pine - weird situation. Then I trapped another in the pole barn with some fresh figs. It was a live trap, but we do not practice catch & release. I haven’t seen one since. The heavy damage I described at the barn happened years back. We periodically get one showing up & generally, my brother shoots them with a scoped rifle (don’t have to get but so close!) or I trap them.
