Last evening I saw it, traumatized by a blow to the head or neck from
the rat trap it had hit in my backyard. The trap was tethered to a
tree.
The bugger (or its cousin) has been digging up my newly planted squash
seeds and this is the only way I've been able to control (somewhat) the
problem.

This morning it's surely dead (I saw one, maybe the same one) that was
evidently stunned from hitting the trap a few days ago, looking dead,
but when I turned my back it darted away.

Warm weather is expected the next few days here in Berkeley, CA (~80
degrees) and wonder about putting it in plastic bags (nested) in my
trash container, pickup being Wednesday morning. Call a city agency?
Bury it in my back yard? What would you do?

...only in California....

Where's your trailer parked?

Ah, yet another pseudo environmentalist-wacko & Obammy-socialist weights in.

No trailer though-- gotta' 4300 square foot custom designed and built home
in north Georgia...and from which I can plink squirrels high in the adjacent
oak trees from my second floor bedroom window or balcony. The kids need to
use a scoped .22 rifle while I can drop them with a .22 pistol-- my favorite
being my vintage Browning Challenger with a 6" barrel.
