2,127 more just bit the dirt during the fall season. Only up ~100 from last year so at least covid didn't make a huge spike in the numbers.
We have a serious coon and opossum problem here. The butterfly nets are advertising how many ticks opossums eat and pushing for people to stop killing them. They never mention how many ticks one good hatch of birds eat in their lifetime. Trapping is quickly becoming taboo and unfortunately the hides have no value. I know what I'm going to start doing.
