Are you sure it's a local neighbor?
It could be a local, redneck, or a tourist neighbor !! You can tell the tourist by the skin color, most of the time they are a lot ligther then the local ones, but here in Florida the redneck is the most common.
Redneck : May be trapped or hunted all year, no bag limit or size limit.
Local : On the indangered list in the south of county only, my be taken only with a special permit
Tourist : May be trapped or hunted, Season runs May 1st to September 16 Bag limit is one per day no limit on per season. Please remember to shake them down real good before putting them in your bag
As for beer as bait, Sorry not good, Peanut butter still #1
Hope I helped. Dave
