Great photos - - of a PEST. Ruger 10-22 with a 10x scope works great - -
IF you are willing to sit in a chair at 0400 in the morning and wait - - for a week or so.
They are too stupid to walk into a have-a-heart trap - even if their favorite food is in there.
It's a conundrum fer sure !!

They are a pain. Hopefully, it won't be too bad getting rid of them.

One other thing about these critters, DO NOT HIT them with your car! Unless you own a front end alignment shop. They are worse then potholes.
Never thought about it, but yeah. Not a good idea.

In their reproduction there are always four young, genetically identical because all are derived from a single zygote (fertilized ovum or "egg") that has divided twice. Each one of the four resulting cells thus develop into an exact genetic copy of that zygote. This has allowed research (mainly genetics, physiology and molecular biology) in which genetic variation can be ruled out as the source of whatever phenomenon is being studied. They are therefore of immense scientific value. They originated in South America, and constitute, in my view, just one of the wonders of the natural world.

I may have once known that but have since forgotten it. (I do have a Master of Science degree in Biology). It's quite an interesting fact. Seems it would make them more vulnerable to a limited gene pool thus making their evolutionary survival less promising. Sure hasn't turned out that way, it seems. Thanks for the info. And thanks for looking.
