Damage to Building
We just returned for a week out east for my granddaughters high school graduation. Just before we left I noticed something had been chewing on the wood siding of our storage building. I sprinkled some chemicals around that according to the label, would repel about every mammal form a skunk to just short of bigfoot.
I relocated the trail camera to a location that was looking at a corner of the building. No critters were captured before we left. We returned late this afternoon and after a quick supper I brought in the camera card and we did capture 2 crow pictures and one other suspect.
Below is a shot of the damage to one section of the building. This is on the northeast corner, the northwest corner also has some damage and the entire south wall has some damage.
My main suspect is the guy in the second picture, an American Badger. Twice this spring we saw a critter scamper across the yard right after sunup. We never got a good look at it, but I am thinking it was this guy. I am not sure what I am going to do about him. I may call the DNR and see what they have to say.
