The grass withereth, and the fl ower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. 1 Peter 1:24-25 BRADLEY From Page 1 to their house or outbuildings and such. "For example, I can't issue a permit for removal of any wildlife only because they don't like it in their yard. Skunks hanging around on decks, porches, and such are an exception, but generally the animal has to be causing damage," he said. Bradley said most of the fox and coyote sightings or calls he gets are in neighbor- hoods where trapping is dan- gerous to pets and children. Even so, he noted, success rates with trapping those ani- mals are low. "So, mostly I tell people that these animals are more frightened of you than you are of them. I tell them to be cautious of small pets and to make sure no trash, pet food, and food scraps are avail- able, then I tell them to try and learn to live with them, because they're here to stay!" Bradley said of his work, "It is rewarding to make income from something I enjoy doing. I issue permits and contract a paid job only maybe one out of 10 phone calls. The other calls are giving advice and talking about the 'do's' and 'don'ts' of solving their 'crit- ter' problem. And, really… I don't mind that at all. The Bible teaches us to help oth- ers and this is one way that I'm blessed to do so." Bradley said his oldest grandson, Gavin, loves help- ing setting and checking the traps. "It's rewarding to teach the next generations about nature, wildlife, and helping others," he said. In his one and a half years of doing this work Bradley said he has captured or ex- cluded from people's home areas, groundhogs, racoons, opossums, snakes, squirrels, skunks, birds, bats, and "a big, hairy animal" under a client's crawlspace, which turned out to be a big feral cat that he thinks "…is still run- ning after meeting me eye-to- eye in his new dark, secluded home." He said he has had a good success rate, to date, and added, "I only handle nuisance wildlife capture and removal. Anyone with an injured animal needs to call their local wildlife rehab agent."
