Went out to feed the critters this morning, caught some movement out of the corner of my eye and saw this varmint coming out from under the turkey shed. It was not the least bit worried about me and actually ended up in the feed shed investigating my boot. I was in with the chickens feeding them and it was actively trying to get into the chicken area and almost got in at a couple of places. I couldn't believe that it was trying to get at the birds with me standing right there with them. The chickens were freaking out and flying all over the place in a panic. I ran in the house and grabbed a couple of tins of sardines and went out and set the trap. It went into the trap right in front of me and I watched as it tripped the trigger. Glad I got it when I did or it might have cost me a whole lotta chickens! I guess the traps are going out every night now! By the way, those feathers in the picture are from a couple of roosters I processed during the winter, they're not from last night...lol
My neighbor had one of these last summer try to take a chicken out of his yard with three people and two dogs standing right around the chicken.

I don't have any personal experience with them, obviously)
