I think if one of those crawls down your vent stack, it's time to move to higher ground!

Possum and raccoon killed most of my back yard chickens about three years ago. Last week I thought they were back. Neighbor said she seen fox. But, a man friend told me that fox don't prowl in packs and thinks it was coyotes. I haven't been able to trap what ever it is. I have recipes.
Trying to find a small patch of land East or South East of Denver with no HOA. Not much luck at this point but we'll keep looking!

I don't understand why everyone hates HOAs so much. Been on the BoD of one for 13 years and was President for 8 years.
You need to understand your CC&Rs and make sure they don't allow your officers too much authority.
It should be your Association and you should control it. It shouldn't control you.
Our CC&Rs are 23 pages. 6 pages say what you can and can't do. The other 17 say what the limits on the Associations authority is.
May daughter has one that limits plantings to native plants. I had one that tried to control just about everything and you had to get approval form a designs committee in Nebraska. After 9 years they started charging us $100 per plan, we moved. Now I have covenants, that I have to take the violators to court to have them enforced because the governing body no longer exists. We can't even get 10 property owners to agree on a vote to keep the covenants or abolish them. That's why I hate HOAs and covenant controlled neighborhoods.
My .45-70 Govt. would take care of that critter. Looks tasty. Fire up the grill!We have squirrels, but more dangerous are the raccoons and 'possums that have little or no fear of humans. Sitting on the patio a couple of nights ago, the cat snuggled up to me wanting his usual scratch. In the darkness, I couldn't see him, but when I looked down and my eyes adapted to the darkness a bit, I discovered what I was about to pet had big brown eyes . . . and a mask.
After several weeks of rain, now it's 'gators coming up our bayous. This guy was captured just a couple of blocks from my house . . .
I'll let you know if one crawls down a vent stack.

And HOA Nazi's . Those buggers. They make $25 off any infringements they find. I think they have that as a business model or something. One little tiny weed and bang I get slapped with $25 for the month. How did they even see it? It also gives persnickety neighbors a way to get at you.
Probably have a reward system for whistle blowers ......

HOAs are a form of local government.
If you live in an HOA area, you need to control the HOA.
If you don't control the HOA, you need to find a way to gain control.
None of us need a nosy neighbor measuring the length of our grass.
