Squirrel Trap Round 2

Image
OK we are officially a crazy family from the hills that traps animals. For 2 years we have had  this resident squirrel that we finally caught this year in our trap.  We took it down by the river and politely let it go and it scampered off happy in its new habitat. Well a few days later I saw a squirrel on my back porch.  I wondered if it was the same squirrel and a movie would be made about it finding its way back home..".Homeward Bound."  So we set the trap again and last night we caught a skunk in our trap.  Here are some pictures of Morgan and Tanner devising a plan to deal with the skunk.  We weren't so polite this time around.  So needless to say, we are still trapping our squirrel.
