antifreeze

what about running a hose down there for a an hour or so to drown the bastard?i've used that on gophers with good luck,just make sure you fill as many holes as you can find and cover them.then go around the shop looking for other escape passages,you might be able to shoot it then if it tries to escape.

 

[ZMan]

I don't have a gun, no antifreeze cuz I have dogs. I'll dry putting the hose in there though.

Glad to see ya checkin in, ZMan. I was gettin worried that the critter got you, instead of you gettin it.

 

[ZMan]

ya, it doesn't want to go in that darn trap so matter what we do. I think its actually getting returned tomorrow..

Get a few leg hold traps. set them and slide them down in the holes.
that way the dogs won't get in them. Check the traps it will be in there. you won't even need to bait them, or a conibear trap layed over the hole will work but the dog could get in it.

Get a live trap put flybait and pepsi in a small butter dish. The flybait will kill it and the pepsi will attract it. It will die in the trap and then you can dispose of it. My buddy does this with his the Racoons that terrorize his sweet corn crop. The farthest racoon made it 30 feet from the bait. But of course he doesn't have any dogs to content with.

livetrap got returned the other day...I'll be turning on the hose in a couple minutes here. Hopefully nothing caves in lol.

Good luck, and if things turn ugly, just remember to aim for between the eyes; they're bad about charging when only wounded.

Or you could try smoking it with Flares. Lit a few fusies and put them in the hole and place something over the hole and let it breath in a lile smoke. Only bad thing is if it dies in there it will stink in a few days.

151 bacardi and pepsi. if he keeps digging in the same spot roll some posioned food in the hole and cover it. hopfully he dines on it and ends up dead before he can did is way out. personally this sounds like a huge excuse to stay up all night and blow the little buggers brains all over the shop then have a toast.
