    Larry, Moe & Curly

    WolfDog's pics & videos on trapping got me to thinking I could share a few things here.

    As I've mentioned,, I'm a Animal Damage Control Agent,, and I do a lot of trapping. Here's a picture of (3) coons,, all caught at one time in one cage, that I named; "Larry, Moe & Curly."
    Why? Well, usually I only get one at a time. But the 3 Stooges would try & go through a door, two at a time,, getting stuck in the doorway,, and the 3rd Stooge would hit them from behind & all 3 would tumble through the door. I figured that was what happened here. So,, here's my 3 Stooges!

    I've had several "two-fers" before, but never a three-fer. Congrats on the triple play.

    That's awesome. I got two full grown coon hounds in a trap that size once. They were just standing in there with their faces pressed against the mesh and could barely move. I guess they both REALLY wanted to get to the can of cat food that I was using as bait. They were happy to see me and get out of there.

    It's a rarity to get a three-fer! Doubles,, often. But still funny. I had to name them after the stooges!

    Just one of the many fun things about my job.

    Great photo . . . love it!

    I caught three on time in the live trap . . . very young ones. I was surprised and figured that it probably took all three to trip the trap. I had baited it with a jelly roll and when i checked the trap at daybreak, I spotted the momma running off into the brush and tall grass as I walked up to the trap. The three were cute little things and I didn't have the heart to take care of them. I let them out and it didn't take long for them to get back with their mother and all of them disappear. I never saw them again so I was glad of that.

    Back in the early 1990's I had a friend in the hospital battling a serious illness. He was hooked up to 3 fluid pumps sending medicines into him. To soften the intensity of this treatment he got some adhesive tape and a marker and printed the names Larry, Curly and Moe on the pumps. When the doctors added a 4th pump he studied a bit and printed the name Alfred E. Neuman on that last pump. His humor was was to see which of his caregivers were classy enough to remember that name, made him smile. BTW, he overcame his illness and is still alive today.

    I have that same trap but mine is in terrible shape I lost count of the times I have had to fix mostly from raccoons damaging it but dummy me put a couple bullet holes in it also! The trap is at least 30 years old I got it because of trouble with feral cats at my last house but while it was in my old buggy period garage it got more possums then cats! It has caught coons ,cats, my last dog, Grouse, rabbits, possums, a chipmunk, a woodchuck, a blue jay , and I probably forgot something!

    By the way I am "UP NORTH" in Michigan and something is up with the blue jays none around at all this year since November maybe earlier . I am not complaining it is something I have never seen before ?
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    "I have that same trap but mine is in terrible shape"

    I have a lot of those traps & use them often. So far,, in about 20 years of ADC work,, only lost a couple. Why? Because before I put them to work,, I modify mine to where they don't get wrecked easily. Several extra cage clips,, especially in the corners & anywhere two edges meet.

    Actually, over time there were 6 stooges. Their names were Shemp Howard, Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Joe Besser, and Joe DeRita.
