Comically and as per usual, pbj wins again with channeling Nostrodamus.

It had been a long while since I heard the irritating little gurgling, but last night I caught 17 cane toads up at the pond.
Curious to see how many I find tonight.

While I was at it, there was a family of feral pigs that snuck through a spot in the fencing that had a rivulet hollowed out under it I hadn't noticed before.
Took me the hour leading up to 2:30 am to chase them out because I didn't want to be dressing the damn things in the middle of the night when I had to work in the morning.

When the hell will I get back to machine work-

Last night's haul was only 6 cane toads.
They and all future bounty will get to slowly and calmly become toad-sicles in the freezer.

I should start keeping a calendar of how many toad-sicles I make every night.

Cane toads. Like orcs.

When I was a kid, we lived in a Queensland regional capital. My best mates were 1-2km one way, another 1-2km the other way. Local shops (with arcade games!) the same. Few people. So sure, I was on my bike a lot, but often I found myself heading out into the dark (evening), without anything but my wits.

So, I found myself a 1-inch thick 6ft long piece of dal (round hardwood) and made it into my Monkey Magic staff.

I wrapped masking/paper/painters tape around it in stripes, so it was easier for motorists to see me walking on the side of the poorly-lit road on dark nights.

I feel that it also served as an effective warning on dark, lonely nights. Like they say, walk softly but carry a big stick.

To understand why... I've suffered bullies more than my share in my time. But nobody bothered me when I was carrying that stick.

Anyways, cane toads were always in abundance. So I always did my best to help the community. They were obnoxious and wildly excessive, killed native and pet animals, I practiced my art. With a twist at the end.

Skills gained, as a young adult was quite popular on the fire stick twirling circuit for a while.

Zebidee:
If you want to find (or trap) cane toads, two things:

1) they are attracted to where the bugs are, and therefore any outside lights.

2) when not hunting bugs, they like to hide somewhere dark, moist and cozy. So anything like a board or sheet over wet grass/soil will be attractive to them. Especially if it is not far from their feeding grounds (the lights)

They need water to breed, so can never be too far from that. However, in a cool dark place, they can survive for a long time. Just look for those cool dark places.
