BUT, sense (and another reminder from Mama Pea) finally prevailed, and the can's been inside for a few days now. (Who says I'm a little slow?!)<br /><br />Susan, I did set the trail camera out there and got a good picture of his big butt that I'll get posted one of these days! :)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-52816469652492784482011-04-12T10:01:24.516-05:002011-04-12T10:01:24.516-05:00You can borrow Hoosier - he's such a big fatty...You can borrow Hoosier - he's such a big fatty that he'll probably try to open the can himself. Have you seen this bad boy? He must be on steroids! If you could rig up a flash, that might get his attention. Put it on a tripwire and let it hit him full-on. Yes, my dogs that bark at every falling leaf were completely mute the night a bear climbed over my deck fencing and sniffed around.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-84302584812615264202011-04-12T09:56:40.567-05:002011-04-12T09:56:40.567-05:00The little beast will continue now that he knows w...The little beast will continue now that he knows where the food supply is.

It would probably be easier just to move the can inside somewhere.<br /><br />The friend I'm staying with was telling me how she had a raccoon who not only would come through the cat door onto their screened in porch to eat cat food, but then started teaching her babies how to use the door and do the same!!!Jenyfer Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769550148821002722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-35504425573317910712011-04-11T16:00:46.881-05:002011-04-11T16:00:46.881-05:00You totally have to sit up one night waiting with ...You totally have to sit up one night waiting with the seed at the very bottom and then when he goes in, go slap that cover on - but you have to get video of you letting him out LOL!
