What varmint is getting into my tool shed and throwing stuff around - knocks everything off the shelves, if it can be tipped over it gets tipped over, &c. Repeatedly. I get things put away and repeat. I'm thinking raccoon, but don't know. The 3 photos out of my cheap tasco game camera that showed anything animal just show fur/hair. Could be anything. Maybe even the side of bigfoot's foot.
KICKER IS whatever it is it's eaten two -- TWO! -- buckets of rodent throw packs.
I'm very reluctant to set a trap, don't want to knock off one of the barn cats or "luck" out with a skunk.
Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

Live trap. They have them at TSC.

Possum, the rodent killer has no effect on them.

Possum, the rodent killer has no effect on them. This exactly. I've seen possums eat an entire square block of the more potent Tomcat Bromethalin poison. No effect. Possums have cast iron stomachs.

Sounds like a coon to me. Tractor supply. I've been trapping fox, coon, possum, and squirrels that last month and a half. The coons and fox get taken off a couple of miles and released. Possum and squirrels I just release at the house.

Spelling police…..varmint.
Buzzards and Possums both can consume a lot of rodent poison. I had a rat in my garage at one point. I think it came from the neighbors whose back yard gets shin high. That rat ate an amazing amount of rat poison from Lowe’s. The exterminator set some in those black traps they have. Bye, bye rat.

Possum, the rodent killer has no effect on them. My thought also. Had 1 in garage once. Yesterday I was sitting on patio with Millie before sunrise drinking coffee. Something ran down the gutter under my patio cover. Loud enough to make Millie jump. I suspect a tree rat. Too early for a squirrel.
