A hunting we wiw go, A Hunting we wiw go, Hi How da dawy ow, A hunting We wiw go!

Well the nuisance critters are back. Isabelle got a baby coon while I was in Africa. Her mother is a bit too rascally to get. Or maybe it is Daddy. Whatever it is, it is big, old and seems a bit creaky. Probably very hard to outsmart. Could be why this is the second season we have seen it and still haven't caught it.
Last night a rather audacious skunk came out of a hole just too close to the chicken coop. Now I know what has been raiding the duck eggs. Mrs. Duck the Second is sitting on eggs as we speak and last night the little stinker (no pun intended) grabbed eggs out from underneath her.
So tonight the trap came out. Hopefully the grand buffet meal provided will get us our culprit. More on this later.
