There is a third squirrel. Curses! This one is a little more clever – he has managed to steal the bait without triggering the trap. Well, who knows? There may be more than three now that we have begun this resettlement process. Maybe they’ve heard about the free peanuts we use as bait and we’re actually encouraging visitors from other neighborhoods? Whatever the case, we have this fulfilling new hobby to enjoy as squirrel wranglers. We even use binoculars to spy on the cage periodically, so as not to induce anxiety in a captured victim by leaving him in the cage too long. See? We do sort of care.
Stay tuned for more exciting Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom moments.
