Share the cheese ...share the cheese

She brought us fresh made, this morning, mozzarella cheese with a little liquid smoke in it. It is heavenly!!

I got a real good mental picture of you in pj's strolling next door, trusty rifle in hand, or was it a pistol? I would imagine that you were pretty P O'ed at that coon for disturbing your well earned afternoon of rest.

There is a lot of shooting in the few farms around us but my neighbors have gotten used to me shooting at the Black Vultures at odd times. That and I'm on a rant to eradicate tree rats.

Ya aughtta keep a loaded BB gun on your porch....and heck, might as well have one hanging in the goat house....that way they'll be close by when ya need it...

I think I like racoons about as much as @greybeard like beavers....

I have raccoons too but they don't give me any trouble.

All the animals here get along good..they better if they want to stick around and not take the ride.

All of these were here on the porch more than once when the possum and raccoon came up to get a bite.

I love opossums...they're pretty amazing critters
I've only caught 1 in my live trap...and 1 raccoon. I just let em' go back in the woods...they haven't caused me any problems so far.

I feel sorry for possums, but I don't like them too. They carry diseases that can kill a horse, and don't ever corner one. They can really hurt you. But I do feel sorry for them as they are so "out of time" . They will eat young chickens if they can get to them, and yes, grab and eat them alive. Mostly them and skunks will go for the available feed.
Now I do have a major hate affair with raccoons. They are too smart; they got the hook and eyes open with a group of half grown purebred chicks one time and torn them apart. We found some still alive with their wings torn off, a couple with broken or torn off legs, parts of others everywhere. It was a family and they not only kill for food but they will kill for fun. Took me a couple days, but I caught a momma and 2 young ones going in my coop after some of mine that I had let out for some free range time one evening. Shot them but missed the big boar coon as he came running out the trap door and down the ramp.
Got him 2 nights later....he was tearing the wire mesh off the window trying to get in. They are too destructive.

I will tolerate alot of nature, but either coons or possums gotta go....they're fine as long as they stay away from the house and don't mess with my other animals....I got this one in the duck yard.....biggest I have ever seen....
.....I wear a size 12D shoe, for reference...
