Critter Tread - Trapping

[WJCO]

5 yards in front of my hunting stand at about 4am this morning. I need to get that gun build going.

Deer stand has a eufy cam and then below it on the ground is a tactacam.

We're out on the back deck and I'm messing with this thermal scope. It's not even on a gun yet. 10 feet off the deck in a tree is a possum or a bird's nest. Hasn't moved in awhile but it's there. I was trying to identify and had record on. No kidding, coyote came into view right under the tree. Woods are thick but I got video of the heat signature. We've got lights on and have been talking. He gave zero fucks. We've never seen him in this spot. GIF file was shit, but here's a screen shot. This was about 30 minutes after sundown so I may know where he's residing now.

Here's the start of the video. Object on top is what I was trying to identify. Object on the bottom is the buttfucker.

Dug out a yellow jacket nest that we’ve been dealing with. Always had a ton of yellow jackets in the yard but this year was insane. Couple weeks ago finally found a nest by running it over with the lawn mower and hundreds of those assholes chasing me across my back yard.

Kill it With Fire

Thought I would start a "Kill it With Fire" thread to post Jeeps whose owners should have bought an Escalade or Chrysler 300 instead.

Thats huge! Those fuckers don’t mess around, stuck my foot in one when I was was probably 13 or so. Luckily they mainly attacked my foot and leg!

That’s massive. Those fuckers are so nasty. My poor dog found a nest in our last houses yard. She got all stung up. Of course she got scared and ran to my wife for help so she got all stung up too.

Damn. They're been building that for awhile. How'd you kill them before digging?

Experimented with a few different things. Diatomaceous Earth and Lime sprinkled all around and on the opening. Did that for about a week. Was still seeing yellow jackets and they would create a new tunnel to avoid the powder. So I tried Sevin powder. Immediately they were cooked. They started pouring out but touched the poison on their way out and either turned around and went back in or tumbled around a bit and died.

Is there a furry convention near you?

This little kitty was so afraid of being eaten by Haitians that he volunteered for protective custody. Lucky for him we are in a no pet eating zone so he was paroled and went on his way.

Were you trying to catch him or something else? What was the original motive for operation?

I think he was trying to catch an ewok.

Yeah, that trap is a little small for a Wookie.....

Trying to catch a feral cat.

The opossums have done a great job eating copperheads, I have not seen any snakes in years. He was pretty chill and was really easy to get out of the cage. I let him have the remainder of the cat food as a consolation prize.
