I moved a large dead opossum off of the street and put it in the tree plot just next to the sidewalk at 1220 E First st. (south side of the street). The opposum had been hit and had been dead for a while I think but I didn't want it to continue to be smushed and to cause traffic to go around it. I am hoping it can be picked up by animal control. I don't live there - I was coming home from downtown when I saw it.
Neighbors feeding deer. Anywhere from 5 to 7 cross my back yard each evening. Winslow Farm woods overcrowded with deer. Deer are destroying native trees in woods, leaving it overgrown with invasive plants.. Last fall 4 bucks in our neighborhood, which needless to say created multiple births of more deer. Ideally they should be minimized.
Racoons (at least 2) have found a way into walls of house through gap in roof eves
I am concerned about the mowing/bush-hogging on the side of I-69 off of Tapp road and other similar places on the side of highways. It is destruction of wildlife habitat and there is no point to mowing it since nobody ever touches that area. I apologize if I am reaching out to the wrong department. Have a good day!
Too many deer, yet even young ones walk toward me when I come outside. Someone is probably feeding them, and I really don't want them drawn to my area.
A skunk has been spraying somewhat often the last few weeks and we have seen it in our neighbors yard. We would like to avoid our dogs getting sprayed again this year, are we permitted to trap skunks?
There's a groundhog under my tool shed (which is also burrowing under the back porch and the garage). I'd be grateful for any guidance you might offer in how to trap and relocate.
Yesterday evening a orange male cat attacked my leg severely biting and scratching me. The cat was wearing a yellow collar and took off into the neighborhood behind our house. My doctor said that the cat needs to be found and checked for rabies. I have no idea who the cat belongs to and my direct neighbors don’t own him
