Default I have become a varmint control specialist

The older lady that owns the 80 acres I hunt on is pulling down a ton of critters in her yard with the live traps. I get calls every other night to disbatch coons, ground hogs, opossums, etc.

I do everything I can to help her because I have free rain to hunt her property...but ....how should I continue to clean house on her critters that ruin her foundations and eat up her garden??

Do you object to going round and dispatching them, or is it that it is so frequent?
OR would you rather not have to kill them?

Putting up some sort of critter proof fencing might be a way around it? I would guess it would have to be pretty hardcore fencing though!

I would keep taking them out. But be warned, (as im sure you already know), that they will never run out. My uncle trapped 27 racoons in 2006 and31 racoons in 2007....all from the same trap, sitting in the same place, in the same barn!
