    Default Kids, Goats and the Arapuca Bird Trap

    I set up an arapuca in our dog kennel to catch some of the dove coming in to eat our goat food. It worked but my son got a little enthusiastic, so did our goat...

    Let me get this straight. You have goat food in the dog kennel? Does the dog know it's goat food? And, have you told the goat that he's rich in protein. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to learn that.

    I just watched the YouTube video (The Colhane Channel - Pict's favorite) on this trap yesterday. That's a pretty nifty design!

    Wait... The goat ate the wooden trap? They are great garbage disposals... Not that the trap was garbage.
