FOXY TIME!

I have a good friend who had a fox living in his neighborhood that was causing problems. For the most part, this neighborhood likes their foxes and the foxes don't cause any problems, but this one has taken to attacking small dogs and other pets. He needed a new home away from people.

It took a few days and we had to get through the overpopulation of raccoons and opossums, but last night he finally cooperated.

Here is a brief video of his capture and release in the country.

There are 7 subspecies of Canada geese in North America. The one we deal with at this time of year is the Giant Canada goose subspecies (the rest have migrated north to nest). Unlike the other 6 subspecies, the Giant Canada goose does not migrate. They have minimal homing instinct. If you move them to another area, they acclimate there quickly and they don't come back.
The Giant Canada goose was suspected to be extinct in the mid 1900s, and was declared extinct in the 1950s. Then a small flock was found on a golf course in Rochester Minnesota. All of the Giant Canada geese we see every day have descended from this small handful of geese.
Fun Fact: Oklahoma decided that we wanted Giant Canada geese and traded Minnesota turkey eggs for Canada Goose eggs. Yep, that's right. We introduced these geese on purpose!

During the month of June, Canada geese lose the ability to fly due to molting their flight feathers. During this time, Predator Impact brings in kayakers, portable corrals, and specially designed trailers. We round them up like cattle and relocate them at least 100 miles to a location designated by the OK Dept of Wildlife. There they spend the summer regrowing their flight feathers and, when they can fly again, they are acclimated to the new location and do not return.

That snake in your garage wasn't after you. It was after the rat you didn't know was there.

Non-venomous. No fangs. Round pupils, slender head. It follows rodents into walls and crawl spaces where no trap or cat can reach.

Four venomous groups in the US. Learn those four. Leave everything else alone 🐍

🌿 The shovel removed the solution, not the problem.

Predator Impact recently submitted an article to Pest Management Professional magazine on the non-lethal control of Black Vultures. It was selected as the cover story for the March 2026 issue.

On the "What's In This Issue" page, one of the editors foreshadowed the article and included her own personal picture of a "Vulture" she encountered in her neighborhood on item #3.

Anyone see an issue with this picture a of a "Vulture"? Anyone? 😄

What is it about finding a trail camera in the woods that brings out the dork in people?
This random guy walked past one of my cameras and had to make a face into it!
