I started reading about them. They say they eat ticks !! They will groom themselves, and eat every tick they pick up. And they scavenge up all the other insects, and mice. So I'll let them live around my property. They don't bother me at all. In fact, I don't even see them except on the cams.

The one I caught was just fat & lazy. He got a free meal of Elk scraps, & was just lounging around.
