Sorry for your loss. Sure hope whatever it was hasn't mortally wounded your gumption.
We've had good luck with baby monitors and low wattage LED's in coop/shed. The light allows them to see (just barely) anything that might make it past the traps/fencing and hardware cloth. The monitors (max volume next to bed) cue us to anything approaching through the woods (chooks growl/whine, turks putt/gobble).
Pour out the leaden mood into bullet molds and hang in there.
Transmitting 220v `plug' the vermin vibes...
