Critter Tread - Trapping

[Traciehue]

I set this out in daylight to thin the cat population and caught this Masked Bandit. He’s just a little guy and made no fuss at all. I guess the cat food was too much of a temptation

I wanted to bring him in and make him a little bed with some hot cocoa. Poor little guy couldn’t resist fresh cat food.

I would really like one as a pet. Lol

It would not take much to make him a pet. A couple of marshmallows and he’d be yours.

You want me to bring him out to you?

Smeared some bait on this tree yesterday. The strength of these critters noses still amazes me.

Wrong critter

Indeed. Yotes were crazy active then disappeared.

9 days of inactivity but early this morning one came through. The journey continues.

So the area where this clown is has no traps. The one from a couple weeks ago (possibly same one) came in and out of here many times then. This guy this morning did the same thing. Really strange.

When he left the area this morning it's pretty hard to navigate without getting by my other cameras and yet he did. So I scouted this morning. There's really only two general areas he can exit through. I moved one camera back and put another one in an area where I had a blind spot. Hopefully full coverage now. And I threw two nice stinky dirt hole sets in the ground near the potential exit trail.
