Wait For Me, Mama! The little raccoon was stranded in the garage of the D. L. Lanes of 1527 Woodland Dr., when his mother and two other babies moved into the attic for the evening. Later the mother raccoon urged the little one up, and the whole brood settled down for the night by 10 p.m. The ammonia treatment didn't work in this instance. According to Mrs. Lane they will probably just have to wait until the intense summer heat drives the raccoons out of the attic, then the Lanes can replace the wire mesh on the attic vents which the mother raccoon apparently destroyed in order to get inside. The raccoons come in from the woods every year about this time. Mrs. Lane says they are really cute to watch. She just doesn't want them in her attic.

HANDLE WITH CARE: Three pairs of gentle hands, a doll's feeding bottle and a generous measure of caution have raised this porcupine to the age of four weeks old. The orphaned animal has been the pet of (left to right) Doug, Dale and Jerry Barth, who presented it to Mort Neff on his television show "Michigan Outdoors." The boy are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Barth, jr., of 13652 E. Old US-12, Chelsea.

Must Have the Secret: In his slightly more than 70 years on this earth, Dan Murray has absorbed knowledge about many things. One of them obviously is the trapping of foxes. With only five sets close to his farm home at 2350 Arkona Rd, between Milan and Saline, he's taken 20 foxes this year and may add more before the going gets muddy next month. It's not just one of those "good" years either. Murray trapped 17 a year ago. What are his secrets? Well, among them is the fact he uses a commercial lure and never touches a trap or a trapped fox without putting on an old pair of gloves used for no other purpose. Murray, who on April 10 will have lived 50 years on the 140-acre farm now operated by his son, Donald, will be bringing his season's take into Ann Arbor one of these days to collect the bounty of $5 for each animal.

One For the Bounty: Edwin Egeler, 7160 Marshall Rd., southeast of Dexter, collected his $5 bounty for this big male fox. But the bounty was incidental, so far as Egeler is concerned. He shot Sir Reynard, with a 20-gauge gun loaded with No. 3-Bs, after finding it feasting on some baby lambs on the Egeler farm. "He was so busy," Egeler said, "I had time to return for the gun after seeing him attack the lambs." Egeler figures this or some other fox has made off with several lambs.
