Dead groundhog in pool

   / Dead groundhog in pool #52  
A somewhat related response to this thread... 6 months ago I discovered a dead, young, possum in the horse trough. To prevent this happening in the future I installed a 'scramble net' on the inside of the trough and have been 'corpse free' ever since.

I used a bit of plastic roof gutter mesh, then screwed it to the rim.

PS: Please excuse the condition of the water. I was having trouble with the bore (well) water at that time. It's been resolved and the horses have clean, clear water to drink.

I always leave the ladder inside my pool ever since I found out squirrels can't tread water indefinately. :p
