Trapping Success!

Moses cares for our family broilers and keeps a close eye on the birds in the pen. This week he noticed that birds were being snatched from the pen. With some assistance from Scott, Moses set the live trap using a dead bird as bait. His clever scheming was rewarded the next morning with this racoon who showed up for her regular mid-night snack and found departure rather impossible!!


Moses and his catch....
Although the racoon was caught and has been properly disposed of, we still had some birds raided from the pen last night. Please pray that we would be able to eliminate this other predator before we have many more chickens stolen!!

Congratulations to Moses!! A "trapper in the making!". I'll be praying that you catch the other unwelcome intruder.

That coon ain't nearly as fat as the city ones that hang out around here. Good catch though, Moses.

I'm praying for more success for y'all. Lord bless your works. :D

Way to go Moses. That coon didn't stand a chance against you. Im sure you'll get the other critter too.
