What Is This Creature?

[rvgrammy1953]

OMG this is getting way too funny....

Okay Mitch, time for an update, any sign of the critter today?

You know if you don't feel comfortable shooting it you could sneak up behind it
and grab it by the tail and commence to swangin till ya chunk it way far out yonder!

For heaven's sakes, live-trap the poor little critter and release him FAR from your place....he, too, has a right to life. I could NEVER kill any wild creature unless I were lost in the wilderness and starving. He is, after all, a fellow living creature who deserves to live. I totally understand not wanting dens around horses, but there are humane ways to eliminate the critters!

NOTE: I might have to rethink my above statement if a wild critter was attacking either me or Molly or my kids! In that case, I would shoot to kill, whether a 4-footed creature, or a 2-footed creature!

And he's there for the food you have out or the birds, so you are partly responsible for his showing up at all!

Besides, when they say CHUCK STEAK OR CHUCK HAMBURGER, I'm pretty sure they don't mean this kind of 'chuck'!!!

Unless you actually grew up in the Mts. of TN were I think possum and wood chuck actually were on the menu.... Just speaking from remembered conversations with my FIL from his youth.....and yes they were dirt poor and back up on the mountain...from the old family photo my husband found it appears there may have been some Cherokee blood behind the Allens.....Future FIL left TN and headed to the big city of Cincinnati right after WWII ...he was in his late 40's at the time and met my MIL ...she, who had left Carlisle, KY in order to get a job herself......
