Simple.. give the dog back to the owner feet first.

100% correct. Easiest way to kill a tree without trying.

Your tree will be fine. The only way you would hurt that tree is if you piled used bedding around the trunk, and your not doing that. The root system is well established and even if the gals scratch up a few areas, it's not going to hurt anything.

Just start building one, or get a shed delivered. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

I don't consider wildlife doing wildlife things when they are actively trying to get into my coops, stressing my birds out. There's no way a coon, mink or anything but a bear is getting to my flock. But stressing them out isn't ok. I've had a pair of fox running around the coop trying to figure...

It's a total mith that opossums eat ticks.

I agree with most of what you are saying, except for feeding the things. Also most of the .25 cal air rifles are just about as loud as a .22lr, so a suppressor is recommended.

That's called giving advice. Sometimes the majority of the advice given isn't so popular with some. I gave advice on the information that was provided, not my situation as you accuse. Your correct, we don't know the exact situation the OP is in. It's up to the OP to gather info and decide...

Good for Rocky.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

Coons and coyotes are tied for number 1. Fox, hawk follow. The first two get little leniency.

No way would I want them hanging around. Rabies and other diseases are always a possibility. I also wouldn't want them to get used to people. That's what makes them more bold and potentially aggressive.

Never heard of a horse community. Around here if you have horses, you've got acreage. Many creative ways to eliminate. I'm fortunate enough to be able to open the sliding door and shoot. I also didn't say others shouldn't offer advice.

While definitely capable of killing a chicken, they are a smaller hawk. Hopefully it will learn it not worth getting it's but kicked by Rocky.

Hopefully, it'll go after smaller critters for awhile. As it gets bigger/stronger and more experienced, it might revisit. What type of hawk was it? Hopefully it won't get any bigger.
