Is that a panther?

@Tlock Were you mostly predator and herd management, or did you deal with other wildlife stuff too? Having trouble figuring out which of our fuzzballs are guys and which are gals aside from the known litter-mama.

New one just showed up, big and aggressive, and we're thinking if he tries to run Lafty off he's gotta go.

All human/wildlife conflicts. From skunks to cougers and bears. Human health and safety and livestock perdition

It's a bit late, but we should have someone talk to you about the birds and the bees.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. It's not like I can get 'em to lift tails and let me check their junk, or even hold still long enough to look, so I'm hoping there's some other "tell" I can look for.

I prefer "Captain Oblivious" thank you very much.

So to reiterate, might you have any advice for keeping the peace between our fuzzy guests?

Another thought is, with how idiots drive around here I'd rather make my backyard an inviting sanctuary where nothing can hurt them unless I trip while working on a model airplane or power tools rather than them risking getting run over crossing the roads or getting into trouble with less accommodating neighbors or their dogs.

Not really. I was just a hired gun

The GREATEST MYSTERY of the woods......



Aloha, Mark

Took the kids up to explore in the Gifford Pinchot and had a couple blacktail does cross the road in front of us. They were maybe 100 yards out. Sorry for the blurry pics, cell cameras through a rainy windshield can only do so well

A fellow with fuzzy antlers was spied near our propane tank this evening:

Welp, damn raccoons are now out in BROAD DAYLIGHT. Any pointers on legally disposing of the bastards within city limits before they harm my fuzzy little buddies? Animal Control around Puget Sound is more useless than a eunuch's pecker...

Traps. The cage type, so that you can relocate them somewhere that will cause your enemies problems.

Edit: don't leave food out.

Check your local ordinances, it's illegal to transport live critters to relocate them in some places.

Yeah, it's a fricking pain having to go out and load the feeders every morning and empty 'em again every night.

Coons?? Well mommy just uses a broom to chase em off the porch!

Or she just tosses them like a sack of flour.
