I trap em with a hav-a-heart trap, then take them on other side of interstate, and drop them off in a wooded area near the Army base, which is within the 1 mile limit set by the town/state (as the crow flies). If they want to return, they gotta cross 8 miles of high sped traffic. I even paint them red to see if they find their way back, as they have a tendency to return if they can sniff out their old locations. Unfortunately I can't shoot em, and no creeks/ponds nearby to drown em, or I would. Vile creatures..
I cover the traps in a dark tarp, no food needed. They think it's another cave and like guys with expendable income and free booze at BJ, they lose all sense of reality. I catch em usually within a day or 2. And I've made sure I'm in bed of my truck when I open, as I've had a couple come back at me once lose. I close them at night as one night I left it open and caught a skunk. That was fun getting him out without being sprayed.
) and now about to trim some low hanging limbs. Getting tired of ducking them when mowing. They do offer some privacy though so won't trim them too much....
