2022 BRM Author Talk #3 with Dr. Farah Jasmine Griffin
2022 marks the 42nd annual celebration of “September is Black Reading Month.” The annual observance encourages members of the Black community to read books, magazines and journals written by Black authors as a way of deepening our understanding of our history, culture and the wisdom that has evolved from that culture. The idea is to develop a habit during September that will carry on through the rest of the year.
For the third year Malik Yakini, one of the co-founders of Black Reading Month will present a weekly series of Author Talks in which important Black authors will be interviewed about their craft, challenges, aspirations and insights. This year the Author Talks on September 14th and 28th will be hosted by scholar/activist Michael Simanga, Ph.D

    This is why there are professionals. Frustrating to watch this as most homeowners, like this one, are clueless about wildlife. It's too bad that people who post don't take a moment to get educated before spreading misleading, incorrect info. Below it is pointed out that chucks are diurnal, a daytime animal. Rather than set a trap for an overnight catch that won't happen, it's best to set traps for morning till dark and actually close them during the night so as not to catch the nocturnal animals, skunks, coon, possum etc., if you are using bait, which I do not use. First, eat the bait. Would not waste a good nectarine on a rodent. You don't need bait. By using double door cage traps with nose cones in positive sets at den entrances, crawl unders at fences and trails, you will need NO bait, ever. The double door traps will catch coming and going. All a chuck has to do is move and you own him. The best traps are Comstock traps with wire triggers and powered doors. www.comstockcustomcage.com. Been at it since 1965. After showing hundreds how simple it is without bait, none have ever gone back to doing whatever they were doing before. We have helped countless people solve problems with chucks, coon, armadillos, badgers, fox, bobcats, nutria, fisher, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, chipmunks and many others.

Never seen so many abs my tard is a hot mess of various tunnels. Now I see ground hogs hopefully that’s not an issue foe me but the holes in my yard lately are huge! Nice presentation. This trap works wee for me. Trapping snd release is legal in my area but I pay wildlife pros to relocate since I’m female abs scared of all of them. . Very expensive.

    • @mattmarzula
      @mattmarzula 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not a good video at all. How would you know if it covers all aspects of trapping when it's full of misinformation and doesn't cite any statutes or reference any standard practices? Relocating an animal is not legal typically unless you have permission to do so on private property with 40 continuous acres. Mainly because you're introducing a species to an area where it previously was not. This disturbs an ecosystem. Even one groundhog will ruin a garden. Besides, why would you want to make your problems someone else's? Setting your trigger that light and using one piece of bait is not a good practice. Unless you want to catch squirrels. Setting the trap that close to a hole will sometimes startle a groundhog and cause them to dig more. You position it near their paths where they drag their bellies in the grass. Failing to stake down a live trap will cause the animal to thrash around and injure itself or damage the cage. Animals injured by traps are typically required by law to be put down. Especially wild animals. I stopped using live traps. They were catching more cats than anything and they will ram their heads bloody trying to get out. Those wire door traps are garbage. Groundhogs can chew and press through them after a while. Also, groundhogs are not nocturnal. They're diurnal. You're welcome.

    • @JamesComstockCages
      @JamesComstockCages 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Please read my reply above. When bait is used it shows that the trapper does not know how to trap woodchucks. I haven't set any records but did get 142 one summer using no bait.

  • @bigmeandog849
    @bigmeandog849 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Malik - Thanks for the tips. I live I an area that does not have very many or no predators and the ground hog population has just exploded. You right they are very smart. Not like raccoons or possums. They are easy to trap; but, ground hogs are very particular.

    • @mattmarzula
      @mattmarzula 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I beg to differ. Raccoons are orders of magnitude smarter than groundhogs. They're still predictable though. If you have a groundhog problem, you find a passive and active solution. Traps and a rifle. .22 LR or .25 cal pellet rifle shooting over 800 fps. They'll be gone in no time. Raccoons, on the other hand, scavenge a 20 mile radius for males and a 6 mile radius for females. I kill on average 60 a year with one trap. It's still never enough.

      @doug433 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You must have a special permit to trap. Relocating at the wrong time will kill babies and possibly the animal you relocate due to it being where it has no idea of the territory. Be careful or fines could come your way for doing the trapping you are doing and you may be deserving of what you get.

    Do not take your captured animal to someone else’s land and let it go!! Take it to a park or state game lands. I use strawberries and lettuce to bait the trap for groundhogs and I cover the entire trap with a tarp. Animals can’t get to the bait without going inside.

    • @mattmarzula
      @mattmarzula 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's typically illegal. Especially for nuisance animals. Check your local laws before relocating animals. Typically you can only release them on private property with 40 continuous acres. If it's not yours, you need permission.

    Take an economics class. You can't afford the land to be a peasant farmer near Baltimore. I would suggest moving to a poor area with very low land values, but there are more problems with this. If you are going to live off of the land you will need to give up your toys...smart phone, car, cable tv. Also you want to farm but you don't want to" sweat or think too hard". Not sure this will work too well....USDA has been targeting programs to underserved for years !

    This then raises the question of what are the policies that we should be supporting, here in the US, for example, to address these issues on behalf of African American farmers here, and also on behalf of the global peasant movement La Via Campesina. In general, on the big farm bill issues, these are the "Farm Justice proposals for the 2012 Farm Bill," where it's "Via Campesina with NFFC." But to make up for history, the extra programs for "disadvantaged farmers" are needed (cf Rural Coalition)
