Taking a nuisance animal

Nuisance animals are wildlife (not domesticated animals like dogs or cats) that cause property damage. Some animals which are normally protected by Minnesota Statute can be taken without a license or permit if they are doing damage. The animals included under this provision of Minnesota law include: mink, squirrels, rabbit, hare, raccoon, lynx, bobcat, fox, muskrat, opossum and beaver. Other unprotected birds include the English sparrow, starling, and common pigeon. All of these animals may be taken by the landowner, manager or occupant if the animal is causing property damage.

When taking protected nuisance animals, notify a Conservation Officer within 24 hours. Please refer any inquiries you may have regarding this list to the DNR Information Center. What does "taking" mean? Taking means capturing, relocating or killing a nuisance animal. This can be done in any manner except by the use of poison, artificial lights or with a motor vehicle. The most common methods for taking an animal would be with a firearm or bow and arrow. These methods, however, cannot be used everywhere. A person should consult local laws before applying controls.

In many urban areas or areas regulated by local ordinance, an individual may be restricted to live trapping. Many of the pages here will give suggestions as to how this is best accomplished. Once the animal is caught, a person may choose to destroy or relocate the animal. If one chooses to relocate a captured wild animal, it should be relocated 10 to 15 miles from where it was captured in order to ensure that it does not return. It is necessary to obtain permission from the governing agency or landowner before releasing the animal. Remember to consult local laws before applying controls.

put some chicken wire under ground up to the deck.. this probably wont stop them but it will delay them. They bite anything, they have to or their teeth would grow to long. I had a gf who had a pet rabbit. it would chew threw every electrical cord in the house. I was hoping for days that I would come home to fried rabbit so the slaughter of all my electronics would end. It never happened instead I hit the road and now I can eat rabbit again with out getting into trouble.

Last year I put a garden "Out Back" where I knew I already had a rabbit problem. That garden was all carrots, peas, beets, radishes... All stuff rabbits LOVE.

I took a 4 foot high section of chickenwire. Fencing stapled it on the bottom to some 1X2's... And burried it a foot deep.

I could go out there at dusk and just watch a dozen rabbits staring at my succulent little root vegetables with utter contempt.

Over the course of the season there were several attempted incursions by the rabbits, but all failed. One Gopher seemed to get in there early in the season... But I filled his hole and never saw evidence of him again.

If you know anyone that raises rabbits the manure works well to keep them out also. Plus added nutrients to the soil. They must have some territorial issues with it. We did this with my parents garden and never had problems with rabbits. The neighbors found out and soon they were asking for buckets of rabbit manure (we raised some as kids) and did not have any problems in theirs either.

Chicken wire doesn't have the most appealing appearance. If you don't want chicken wire surrounding the deck, take the wire or mesh of some sort and lay on the ground under the deck and peg it in. That way they can't dig.

Get some rabbit blood from a garden shop and put it around where they're digging.

Do you mean blood meal? Can't say that I've looked but I sort of wonder where they'd get enough rabbit blood. I think that blood meal is made from the packing house blood. It used to be a good product for some uses but I have read that they process it with a lot of heat now and so it has lost a lot of the value it previously had.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
