Our little guy was released back to where he came from (the bottom of the vege garden). As he lives on cottontails and other critters that we are over-run with, we figured that we could use all of the help we could get. (Plus, we had never even seen him prior to that and have never seen him again).
I should have realized that we had a guest when all of the gophers stopped being an issue. I haven't seen a fresh hole in a few years.
Oddly enough, we have always kept poultry and, to date, have not had an issue with our buddy trying to eat them. Perhaps there is enough happening down in the garden that he/she hasn't wandered up the hill?
