So sorry for your loss. I don't free range anymore due to losses in the past from predators. I have nice large pens with electric wires around the coops and pens, good heavy duty netting covering the pens and concrete under the gates all due to losses. I also have several game cameras up on my property. Most nights, when they roam here, I see a predator on at least one of the cameras. Your predator will be back. Good luck...
