Critters in the trash can

[Winger Ed.]

Garbage man was coming the next day so I propped it in the can like it was leaping. Garbage guy opened the lid and the swearing started.

Late one night, my buddy set the head and front legs of a deer he'd shot on the top edge, and just under the lid of the small dumpster can
in front of the town Fire Station. It was right by the busiest intersection of the little town, and right at the front end of the parking lot.

It looked for the world like a deer was climbing out of the can.
He waited a few weeks before he asked the Fire Chief, who was also his neighbor about it.
He got, "I KNEW IT WAS YOU!! The phone was ringing all day about that".

"My wife has a third option ... Have-A-Heart live trap and relocation to another part of the Parish"

Again,,,,,,,,,,, THIS MAY BE ILLEGAL!"

And if you relocate an animal upon State or especially Federal property,, I know it's illegal.

Next,, if YOU own property,, would you want strangers placing THEIR problem animals upon YOUR property?

Of the species I can relocate,, I have to have the owners written permission to do so. Otherwise,, I can get into legal trouble. And if you want legal trouble,, just get caught with wildlife in your possession out of season, and especially on someone else's property.

And to poppy42 & any & all other ADC folks,, yep,, we could spend days swapping stories. Like the time I had a black gentleman freak out as he watched me talk a skunk into walking into my cage,, WITHOUT any bait. Fun times!

Why Gary's the nicest fellow you would ever want to meet.
Here if we trap a nuisance animal the best place to bring it is to you're pard-nahs place and turn it loose in his driveway,
That way when you meet up a few days later you can laugh about his wildlife invasion and the ensuing fight to the death in most cases.
It's a Louisiana thing !
