Okasy, if you've ever seen a plain clothes cop ID themselves to someone, that's badging.

Good one! Love that guy's hair.

Food is still put away at sunset but now something is drinking a bowlful of water every night; it's dry as a bone come morning. Do I need to remove that also?

I haven't. I try very hard to avoid "those" situations and people who get into them.

Kat who has been driving since 5/8/1970 but has never had a moving violation or accident. (Parking tickets? Sure. I lived in the DC area so that's a given.)

I did not think to add the 2 pair of red cardinals that raid our cat dishes. but why I have come back to this post is this guy. he started showing up a little after kat2 started this thread. last night he finally started not running off when he saw us.
no that is not a dog house in the back ground its a cat house and he does not live in it. we are calling this guy cat too.

Yea ... they get food on a regular bases, then think they own the place and your their Butler! ... hahaha ... I recently evicted 3 at 410 gun-point. They resisted and now history. A few nights ago, I found a 4th little one behind my washer & dryer. I couldn't get my hands on him and haven't seen him around since.

I've gotten soft in my old age, Ed. I used to pop them with a .22, but now I trap them and turn them loose on a dead end road about 1.5 miles away.

Good thing too, because my dad was complaining about a white baby possum living in the shop. Hadn't seen a white one before, so I decided to trap it. This is what I found:



She was about eight weeks old there. She's now twice that size and her markings have fully developed. She's a gorgeous fawn-point Thai. To an 82 y/o guy (my dad), I can see how she may have looked like a baby possum with that gray tail and ears, LOL. Someone lost an expensive kitten.

I got 16 of those. Fawn & blue point; a couple of yellow tabbies (one bob tail); and 3 are charcoal gray; White with light yellow rings on the tail; and a Black cat that is Mama to the the fawn & Blue points.

I wasn't leaving food out. The possums would knock the chicken feed bucket over & lid off to eat the feed. I found 2 at the bucket trying to get the lid off. ... If they can't get to the feed, chickens are missing the next day. I think they would climb the tree and knock the chicken off her roost. The possum and/or bobcat don't mess with the chickens in the pens. I have an electric wire around the top. ... I can't use a trap because of my cats. They would be in it.

The reason I got the 410 shotgun was because of a hawk getting the young chicks during the day. This past summer I found 3 different piles of feathers in mid-morning and no dead chicks. I also noticed when a large bird flew over all the chickens ran for cover.

My problems are hawk, possum, bobcat, coyote, and the neighbors dogs. The dogs I shot in the ass with a BB gun, They don't come back any more. ... For the coyotes, a AR15 is on stand by. I saw fresh coyote tracks yesterday. And the 410 is double duty on the possums or bobcats at night.

Oh. The neighbor is a County Animal Control Officer. It was his dogs I shot in the ass in my yard. He called the Sheriff dept in April. So me & 3 Deputies had a serious discussion. (I'm a retired Georgia Cert. reserve Deputy of 20 years) Seems I scared the hell out his 8 year son when I tried to shot the dog with the BB gun. ... this is a long story, but the deputies left to have a discussion with the neighbor about his underage son riding an ATV on public roads and unable to control the large nuisance dog.

Ed, I love ya! That is too funny.

Most cops don't understand the laws they are trying to enforce, and when someone schools them on the law, they don't know what to do!

Several years back, I had a problem with a neighbor trespassing on a right-of-way through my property. I ran him out and called the cops. When they showed up, they told me there was nothing they could do, as he had to be there and they had to tell him in person. Nope!

I said, "Under NCGS 14-159.13, if the property is posted at every corner and every 200 yards along each boundary line, you are authorized to arrest on a first offense without being present."

He admitted he did not know that. Sounds like your deps need a schooling as well.

noop ... they knew darn well I had the right to defend my property. They were trying to show their ass and throw their fat ass weight around.

The lieutenant told me the next time to call them if there was a problem that I couldn't shoot the dogs. I asked him: 'I was to call 911 and stand around watching the dog kill my little dog & chickens while waiting for them to get here?' ... He said No, No. ... I cut him off short and told the lieutenant his argument just ended and they had no more reason to be here, I did what I had to do!

Picture this: I when to Walmart for fresh CO2 cartridges. When I got back (may be 20 min) 3 patrol cars had pulled in on my lawn surrounding my house. I pulled in behind them, got out of the car asked 'what's going on?? Someone in my house?' ... Before they left I also got on their butts about driving all over my yard/grass and pointed out they did not know where the septic tank was nor if there was a sprinkler system in the yard to be damaged. They had no reason to leave the road or the driveway.

Yeah, if your feel your life or safety is in jeopardy, you can shoot them. At least here in NC.

If they were parked on your lawn, you should have gotten pics and contacted the local news station. Sounds to me, that you don't take crap off of anyone either.

I'm too old to take crap and know better anyway. The last thing the Deputies would want to do is pull 'color of law' Sect. 8 violation or my civil rights. I'll own their ass as well as having another nice income.
