Quote: Those kind of bulls can be serious predators. did you shoot it? Note that pellet guns aren't very effective on bulls. No, but you won't believe what else happened. I really hate progress. I hunted on that land for along time. Well, when I left my only out was to move out to our family...

"At -47F the chickens were clearly cold and not happy, guess I need more warm chicken bodies " What else could they be ??? I know I've posted here before but I truly can't imagine asking animals to live in that kind of cold? Chickens are not meant to live in subartic conditions. I'm just blown...
