Um, guys....this is the INTERNET. People "might" dare to have a differing viewpoint than yours once in awhile. Yes, everyone does what THEY feel is appropriate to protect their chickens. I happen to believ that removing their food sources and habitat from my property is the first line of...

My comment about 1% was dealing with concealed hand guns placed by beds or elsewhere within a home to "defend one's property" against tresspassers. I was not referring to someone owning a shotgun with which to shoot a coon with. The two thoughts were actually disconnected, and I apologize if I...

Species are placed on the endangered, protected, or threatened list because their numbers are low, their reproduction is inadequate, and the threat they face from predation and loss of habitat is too high to overcome. They are not assigned endangered, protected, or threatened status by backyard...

Actually the "Beware of Dogs" sign on your porch may get you into MORE trouble! Many years ago my coon hound appointed himself as the neighborhood watch dog. He would fiercely protect his house, his porch, his yard. Very disturbing because I had to watch him CONSTANTLY. He was outside on his...

They did eat all the green stuff within about 2 months or so inside the run. So then we brought in a load of sand and did some land scaping inside the run with the sand and some large rocks and a huge old tree stump and fake trees. It still looks ok, although it's just sand. Definitely not as...

Everyone has the freedom to do as they see fit, within the confines of the law. I find it unnerving though to think of how many people are carrying weapons around "just in case." I really believe that only maybe 1% of all gun owners ACTUALLY have the knowledge and experience to handle that...

It depends on your state and your dwelling or castle doctrine laws. In my state there was such a case this spring. Teenage boy shot and killed by a homeowner. Teen left a party and was intoxicated, saw a police car and thought he'd hide on someone's front porch so he didn't get an underage...

I have used the "system" several times, and was extremely satisfied. In one particularly scary instance, a drunk was beating down my front door. He was screaming and kickiing in the door, punching it with his fist. I called 911 and then got in my car and drove down the road to wait. Though I...

Do what you please. But when you shoot and kill somebody with your hand gun stuffed in your night stand, I hope you have a GREAT criminal attorney. I too am a rural American who lives in the country. We have bear, wolves, fox, coyotes, even a mountain lion has moved into the area recently...

I truly have zero desire to live that redneck lifestyle of a rootin' tootin' shootin' cowboy. I don't have a glock by my bed, and I feel no need or desire to protect me and mine with a firearm. There are laws and agencies and proper channels in place for me to utilize, should I need to. I have...

You know - the other thing I should have specified more clearly.... If you lock your chickens up SECURELY so that predators never get a meal, they won't view your place as easy pickings to go back and tell all their family and friends about. Keep all your feed and your chickens securely...

I do not kill predators. I do my level best to repel and block predators. We have built a very nice, solid, secure run made of very heavy lumber and hardware cloth with a roof, and the chicken house has a concrete floor, steel doors, and steel walls. They would have to know how to turn door...
