We got lucky and have some Red-Tailed Hawks nearby and a few stray cats, that keeps them down. I caught one on the patio 2 weeks ago with a spring trap and peanut butter. It was driving our indoor cat nuts. We had a lot when our development was new, probably because their holes were disturbed but after 2 years I didn't see any more trails or subway bumps. We do have a plague of rabbits though. They just throw the ol' lucky foot to the Hawks.

I see many hawks, Red-tail and otherwise but I think our dog keeps them out of the yard. I've heard cats are the best for voles but our cat doesn't like the outdoors. I wish the dog would take up vole killing but I guess to him that's a step down from his current hobby of killing muskrats. Maybe I need a terrier.

I love your tagline. LOL

Glad you survived the experience!
