So the other day I was home from work doing stuff around the house when my Guinea Hens and Chickens started going crazy. Usually the Guineas go crazy seeing a wild turkey or a deer or a leaf going in the wind but I heard my roo doing his alarm call which is rare. So I look out my window and see a huge Fox sitting by my run looks like he tried digging (but I proofed any digging with hardware cloth in the ground
) so I grabbed my gun (In ny if something is threatening your livestock you have a right to shoot it if you call a DEC officer after) and ran outside. My fiancé's eyes got huge as I walked past her with my .30-30. So I slip out the sun room door and take aim as the fox was still there sitting in the same spot contemplating it's next move. This fox had to be a good 25 lbs. So I take aim wait for my guineas to clear and fire. It was raining very hard so after the shot he took off I went down and looked for blood but couldn't find any. I called my local DEC officer to tell him of the incident and he came out to help me look but no sight. He was very happy I reported it and gave me a permit to shoot on sight if it comes back.. Another eventful day with predators...
