The deed is done. Wasn't as friendly after being in a cage in a rainstorm. (Covered). No problem jumping off the truck, but unsure what to do next? The cantaloupe train will not pass this way again.

My wife is still sleeping. I used to wake her to see the new catch, but it's hurting her sleep, she's seen this 7 times before..

Current count, 7 groundhogs, 1 accidental raccoon

What if? They are just here for the cantaloupe?

I swear, we're someone else's drop-off point? I've really lost count. I think it's 7 and one raccoon.

The other brother Darrell, may not be a brother? I'm not good at sexing young Groundhogs, but our last baby, may be a female, named Darrell 🤣
@JRButts @MaJ1
So, Recap: Bob, Carol, Alice III, Li'l Bob, and his sister Darrell 🤣, and the brother from another mother, the Raccoon. And now, the cage can rest.. #Nature #Pests #Groundhogs #Havahart #LiveTrapping #RelocationServices

I said there were twins, didn't I?

A whole two days without a sighting, and the other brother Darrell shows up.. <le sigh>, the trap is reset, precious cantaloupe slices placed inside..

Today is a good day to vacation!

I was about to take a break when I saw her. She's a strong one, headbutting the cage... Took her to see her relatives down on another shore.. #Nature #Pests

I was only interested in relocating a particular pest.. but if I catch the wrong animal (or bird) it could be a handful.
This raccoon barked, hissed & reached out to access someone, when I approached. Releasing with my hand exposed was worrisome, but, we had a little talk, and I wished him well, on his journey.

Little boxes on the trailer,
Little boxes made of t'ick wire
🎶And they all got relocated in
Little boxes, all the same,

All this, including the cantaloupe trip, and still Alice III sits on my lawn chair? These were just practice runs.
