I like the dog idea, except our dog has already shared skunk oil with me on the way out the door to work. Problem is, I have no ability to smell anything. I had no idea she had met a skunk. My classroom must have been terrible for my students and not one said anything! A coworker spent the morning trying to figure out where the smell was coming from and then sprayed me and my classroom down with Fabreeze.:-)

See this is what you need teenagers for – I could lend you mine – they’re night owls anyway . Seriously, good luck with this – is the aim to catch the varmint or just prevent more loss? Maybe the dog could help?

The moon won’t come up till 1:15. I suspect that’s about the time the critters will be out.

I camped out Sunday night. The weather was nice, the bugs left me alone but the constant noise generated by 400 birds is almost intolerable. Oh, and the ground was lumpy.

Is it time to camp out? I could try. If it gets too uncomfortable for these old bones, I could just go home. What stage is the moon in?

We have been down mink street.

No. I didn’t get him yet. Last night he got two birds. I’m going to have to step up my game…somehow.

wow, that sucks, as my teens would say. Hope it’s over now. Can skunks dig? Did he go underneath maybe? We lost 4 chickens to a raccoon reaching through the wire of the pasture pen two years ago, so I can kind of relate. Be glad it wasn’t a mink.
