Raccoon trap and remove has startedโฆagain. ![frown](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) . I found half of my 4 x 8 bed of Patterson onions dug up/ destroyed. Itโs time to do something about this problem.

Well - not pesky, but downright adorable. For the last couple of days a doe stashed her newborn fawn inside our barn on our hay. It can't be more than 48 hours old because it's not more than 18" long & cute as a button. We didn't want to scare it into a panic, & thankfully the equine gang had more than enough hay to keep them satisfied. Mama did decide to move her adorable little bundle elsewhere though after two days.
This isn't the first time does have found our barn a safe haven for the kids, & fortunately or unfortunately it's also been a safe haven for injured adults more than a few times. You never know what you're going to find when you walk in there.

There is electric fence around the garden, but the two gates are not hot. Apparently that is how they are getting in.

Finding unusual scat as well as cat-like "doo". Bobcats have been spotted in the area.

Bobcats have been spotted in the area Do they bother any of your plants or pets? Do they get rid of pests?

According to my gardening brother, bobcats will shop for turkey dinner when the turkeys have gone to roost for the night. Supposedly there is a bobcat in near vicinity of our house, but I havenโt seen it. If so, he could concentrate on the rabbits. I see there is a new generation visiting my flower bed.

Do they bother any of your plants or pets? Do they get rid of pests? Definitely keep the pets indoors. Interestingly, since moving here the cats have had zero interest in going outside and Haze has become an even more spoiled diva.

So, itโs official. We do have a resident groundhog. I saw him yesterday, out by my garden shed, where he or his relatives have been an issue for several years. Hubby came with neutralizing tools, but Mr. Groundhog was on the alert.
Later in the afternoon, I saw him againโฆonly he was bigger. Might be more than one. Time for the trap again.
