Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. Been out of umph again!

I have kept the live trap baited and set ever since we had all the problems with the mink.
A couple of days ago, with the dogs, I went down to the creek. Angel, started barking non stop as she got close to the trap.
I immediately assumed we had another mink. You can imagine my surprise when I got closer and realized I had a raccoon not a mink in the trap.
Right away I knew why I hadn't got any eggs for a while and also what had happened to the eggs that were under the two broody hens! Coons love eggs.
Mink I can shoot my self but I am not ready to do in a raccoon yet! Rob had to take care of it for me.
The trap is re-set, it obviously pays to keep it set at all times.

Our daughters dog Frankie.
