Live-Trapping Animals...again?

After the mid-day session at the swimming pool, we went to the Harbor Freight store. . .and wouldn't you know it, they had a small live trap on sale for about $5. Hope to trap some animals for the fun of it (catch and release).

My friend Jimmy O. introduced me to live trapping as a kid. He used to catch foxes, raccoons, possums. I caught a squirrel once.

I remember that I found a box trap over near Quaint Acres drive (in the woods at the end), only to find that it belonged to U. of Maryland and I had to return it later...but not before catching a memorable animal in it. One day, I got a call at school from Mom, saying that there was a dead animal in my trap in the back yard. I got home, went out to the box trap and looked in the end where the wire mesh was. All I could see was fur against the wire mesh. So I slid the door up and looked in. There was a possum grinning at me.

Since moving to my current location, I've caught woodchucks....and one time, caught a skunk. That was interesting, letting that animal go loose without getting sprayed.... :)
