Get proficiant with your new firearm and as said get some subsonic rounds, thier no louder than an air-rifle. Remember the rules of firearm safety. When you have an encounter with the predator do not hesitate to act or he will be gone. After he is dispatched make use of his hide, there are many...
Had the same issue with a BR roo. Started out as a sinus infection (dust in the coop). Kept the eye clean but it still became infected even with antibiotics, he lost the eye and had to be culled eventually.
My son, 9 at the time seen every aspect of my treatment, he got to see his 220 pound hero fireman dad lose 40 pounds in 12 weeks and then work like hell to out it back on over 2 years. It took its toll on my family mainly my son and wife but your strength will be in your family. I could not have...
Sorry to hear you may have the illness. I was diagnosed with stage 2 throat cancer 3 years ago at the age of 35. It took several weeks to figure out what it was but after it was biopsied my treatment started within 5 days. and lasted for 8 weeks. I had a combo of radiation and chemo. I have been...
Its all food to my family. Eggs, Meat or Poop for the garden, we dont do meaties(cornish rocks) but will put a old hen to its full use . We do love our birds but they will never replace the family dogs as pets. Our chickens are utilitarian on my property and I try to teach my son the self...
Come on now, no one would ever lie to us about the age or sex of a bird. when I got mine they was all pullets and right at 20 weeks. That was 5 weeks ago, still no eggs.
Im a hunter and I'm sorry for your loss. I can say that in most sates as a hunter we are requested to remove non native species when we encounter them. The main question arises is. Was the hunter on land he was given permission to hunt and was the fowl on land you was given permission to keep...
I have a simple way to look at it. If it was a newborn in a crib and the dogs broke through the front screen door and killed it would people have a different opinion on putting the animal down. I have no use for neighbors free ranging dogs, they get more brazen the further they get from their...
Sorry to hear of the attack. Personally I would use about .55 cents of hot lead, thats just me being the angry victem though. On a separate note if your not a fan of firearms, catch them and haul thier mangy butts a couple of counties over to thier animal control. The animal control in your area...
You better kill it first time you see it again, then you have the rest to contend with (there could be many) for a while. Look at my pics, theres nothing I hate more than a yote. As for your little dog, I would treat him the same as a free range flock after you know a predator is around. Dont...
