If I spotted that critter here, I would be finding a way to do it in.
Last year at this time, my son lost 8 chickens to a weasel in 1 night.
He set traps and caught the critter. He told me to pray that I never
see one in my chicken house.

I do kill mice, but I even have problem with that and mice that are caught live are always released alive.
Wild animals have a tough life. The last thing they need is me adding to their problems.

Ivory, you mirror my feelings. A predator has to be a direct threat before I will remove them.

Oh was that coon ANGRY :evil:. I could hear him yelling from my bedroom 70 feet away. For about an hour :shock:
I'm pretty sure he warned the whole forest that my chickens were not worth investigating cause we haven't had one single visit from anything at all since then :lol:
