I would check with the local laws about metal detecting at state/ local/ federally-managed parks and historical sites. It can be against the law to dig things up from such places. Caution never hurts.
Great job Ty, good luck with your traps. Thanks for taking us along on Dad's Day to Eagle Nest. That was some beautiful areas you showed us around that park. So peaceful and relaxing , a great spot to visit. Stay safe . Fred.
If your livestock are not currently being actively pressured by the local critters, it is unwise to cull those. Because new ones will absolutely move in after you remove the current residents, and those new ones have a good chance of being bold enough to actually try preying on your animals. Just because you have _potential_ predators, they may be content living off other things/ food sources in the woods and environment that are NOT your livestock. Predators can live alongside agricultural operations, actually helping by eating rodents. The best protection against predators are charged fences and properly constructed enclosures. Culling will usually set off a never-ending chain of trapping.
I have a family of blond raccoons that showed up at my home last week, I didn't even know that was a thing until I Googled it . Hopefully they leave my chickens alone they seem happy cleaning up after the cats. Need to find someone to trade some Goat feed for Chicken eggs.❤
Have you thought of getting a trail camera? That would be fun!! Good luck trapping and have FUN! Thank you for sharing..
We have two. I need to set them up.

We would ask before metal detecting on public land.

Beautiful eggs.
They are!
Good luck trapping 😊
Thank you!
Wow!!! That is a lot of eggs!!! ??? Did you catch anything in your traps??? God Bless Us All!!!
It is! You will have to see tomorrows video to see if I caught anything
I was very nervous for your fingers while you were setting traps, but you did a good job!
Thanks! I was a little nervous too. I have it figured out now with the raccoon trap.
Also, to cover the trap, you can also use toilet paper instead of cloth. 😊
Thanks!

Thanks. We have had issues with racoon in the past and they are very over populated in this area. Thanks for the good info.
Looks like you have post oak trees in the woods. Think I saw their leaves on the ground.
Thanks! I'll have to look up that tree.
