I don't , lot of the old timers loved to eat them and alot of the Mexicans still do but eathing them has become less popular now days. Alot of people will shoot them just to shoot them though, why ? Idk just one of those things. Will say though though the with clean jump 5 foot straight up with you shoot or scare one. They are a bit of a pest for home owners though , they will leave a lawn pock marked with diggings . Interesting though yo can't really baint them into traps , usually don't show much interest in bait, usually have to drift fence then into cage trap. Though with wooden traps once you catch one they seem to scent up the thing and it will attract others. But nah I saw the little guy while I was walking around trying to find a stand location to do some calling and decided to sneak up on him and snap some pics. Been a lot of them this year for some reason 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Old timers would eat most things , but younger generations prefer supermarket food . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 21,824 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 (edited) Well beautiful day out for a mooch as the weather is changing to wind and rain again. Charlie was sneaking up the side of a wood so knelt down and gave him a squeak can up to 20 feet away. Cheers Arry Edited January 19 by Arry 18 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also after a good storm the following low tide you can see stumps of fossilised trees. On the rising tide I tried fishing them stumps usually catch 1 pout then find out you couldn't make the cast back lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
