Lately I have noticed that something is digging in the back yard. We got 7" of rain last week, so the ground is still soft.
I noticed day before yesterday that it appeared that something has been burrowing in the yard. Didn't think a whole lot of it, until I went out this morning to have my cofee by the pool. Holy SHIT!
Seems we got ourselves some kind of varmint that is having a damn party in my backyard!
Evidence of little paw prints!
Another shot...
Now, I am all in favor of sharing the neighborhood with the local animal population, but this is getting out of hand! His excavating is getting the pool all dirty.
Here are my thoughts towards a solution...
1. Get out the 9 MM and wait this little peckerwood out.
PRO: One shot and the deal is done.
CON: Neighbors and local sheriff's department probably won't care for the report from the pistol.
2. Set up claymore mines and trip wires.
PRO: Very effective, problem solved.
CON: Collateral damage to the whole damn neighborhood.
3. Poison bate for the little punk.
PRO: Will work.
CON: May kill other "innocent" varmints.
4. Pellet gun.
PRO: Much less noise than the 9 or claymore.
CON: Gotta sit there and wait him out...
5. Steel trap + Bait.
PRO: Would work just fine.
CON: Local laws may prohibit trapping or permits may be required.
I know we have some hunters/trappers up in here.
MP5?
YLifter?
Any suggestions?
