I have more obstacles thrown up by the county surveyer than the feds, if you can believe that. Seems to love his "small-town" power.

Neighbor normally traps my place but not with current low fur prices. The well-meaning armchair environmentalists don't seem to know a renewable resource when they see it and prefer plastic shell coats. I certainly have a lot of predators, but maybe the coyotes and bobcats will reduce deer density and help with all the diseases that are starting to appear in Indiana herds. I took my county limit this year on my place. Raccoons could certainly use culling to help the birds, including ducks. My neighbor did remove two colonies of trouble-making beaver. Our dogs even love eating the beaver meat (muskrat too) but will not feed them raccoon due to possible distemper (not really sure of the risk).
