Forgive me but what with following College Football games and Political news I just forgot to update everyone on the Critter camp news. Here is the most recent information regarding my attempt to tramp/remove the critter.
I got the trap from Florence Animal control with a refundable $50 deposit and put the trap out but the critter must have known that the trap was only on loan from the Animal control bureau until Thursday for Animal Control doesn't loan out traps on Thursday nor do the want their Traps to be used over the weekend.
In my case no critter was found in the trap for the three days that it remained out there by the hole. Actually no sign that the Hole was even being used currently by whatever critter created it. Every now and again our Shelties, in the back yard, will trap/corner something under our deck that is out there and I very much believed it to be Raccoon, Possum, or yes an Armadillo but it's most likely what was occupying my back yard motel/hotel hole.
For me I'm going to have to try the trap again if I want to prove one way or another that the critter is still there but that's another story for another day. Thanks for asking about it and reminding me that I haven't quite fulfilled my promise to update everyone. I think I'll just copy and paste this conversation so as to update all as to my lack of trapping whatever it is/was in the back yard hole.
I did though think of two additional things I could do that might help me rid my back yard of these unwanted critters. I could drop a photo of Hillary Clinton down the hole or even better record one of her political speeches, if she will show and give another one, and then pay it back on a loop recorder toward the hole to see if it can stand up under 24/7 barrage of Hillary Clinton campaigning. Then again that could be construed as being cruel and unusual punishment and animal cruelty so I sure don't want to be guilty of this and to be honest I don't want to listen to that myself in order to capture it. The worst thing about a looming Hillary Clinton election would have having to listen to her shrill voice for four more years. That alone is reason to vote for Trump but then what will be will be. There are all kinds of undesirable, detestable, critters. Some burrow into the back yard and others run for President. Sadly neither fell into a trap over the last few weeks and are viable for another day.
