I got a loaner live trap from the hot chicks I work with at the dog pound.... and I bought an arm trap from the feed store.
I put the half a cantaloupe the loaner trap right next to the plant.
This is the 2nd cantaloupe he has attacked so I am confident he will return for it.
My. Marlin 22LR I’d prepped and ready to go.
We caught one a couple of weeks ago - in 2 nights, it massacred 6 chickens. We used a Havahart live trap & baited with a raw chicken wing - the culprit was in the trap the next morning. We did ‘catch’ but there was no ‘release’.
