My trap was sprung twice last night. The dog alerted me at 0300 and I saw the little devil stealing food through the side of the live trap. I loosed the hounds on him but he escaped over the fence. After re-baiting and setting the trap I retired for the night. At dawn I discovered the trap had been sprung again and all the booty had been taken.
The enemy has changed tactics and I fear he has enlisted mercenaries as there was an assault on the tool shed last night by what appears to be a large rat.
As my present conditions prevent the use of powder and ball I am considering the use of chemical weapons.
