Glad my wife doesn’t read HO posts. Your method would have rid her of me in no time.
We were awakened one night to an intermittent sort of bonk-bonk clanking noise downstairs.
I grabbed a long putter and headed down with an unlit flashlight, and waited until I heard again, learning that it was out on the deck. Threw on the light and saw it was a possum out by my grill, with its head stuck in an old bean can I’d used for grease.
Poor thing was wandering blindly about, occasionally bonking the can into the rail spindles. I just waited for it to get more toward the center of the floor and put a foot on the can.
When it backed out, I yelled “Surprise!” and it skittered down the stairs.

Did I tell the story of freeing the skunk from the ground squirrel trap already?

If so, I don’t recall it, so PLEASE DO.
