Just like the 14 year old he is, my nephew set a animal trap to catch a coon (that's racoon for those of you not in the south). He was going to put dry dog food for bait, but I convinced him to put a can of tuna fish instead. That was last Saturday night. I went out and helped him and his buddies put the trap where I knew they would have a good chance. Only problem is that while his buddies spent the weekend with him, he forgot about the trap. Yesterday evening (5 days later), when I let the cows into the ryegrass I noticed the trap was still there, and a coon was in it. To say she was mad is a bit of an understatement. At least she have a whole can of tuna to eat during her stay in prison. I let her out, expecting her to come at me, but she immediately turned around and slowly walked away. I then took the opportunity to fuss at my nephew when I got back to the front. I know boys will be boys, and I've done plenty worse, but that poor coon sat there for five days - every night below freezing. Not if that had been a feral hog (Caustic's buddies), I would have shot it in the trap.
Here she is, hissing, but somehow looking scared.
Anyone else have any stupid 14 year old stories?
