abandoned farm buildings imact on nesting success

[Tom7227]

Interesting article in last week's outdoor news about racoons, skunks and possum and abandoned farm buildings. Looked as if they were prime problems for nesting success based on the study that was published.

Yah not to mention Jason, Freddie and the occasional zombie.

Seriously, this is certainly an issue for nesting birds ... and in feral cats.

Remember this when you decide to let your dogs stretch during a hunting break. These places often look inviting especially when mowed ...

They sure are nostalgic to look at!!!!!! I have trapped many coon,skunks and fox around these relics. They are a great way to get trapping permission on private land and help out the farmers.
