    My whole flock was killed last night, please help me

    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Hope you get them. I agree about the loss of sleep and shotgun, happy hunting. Probably wrong to say, but sometimes revenge can really be sweet.

    I just had to call the cops!

    So glad you are ok. Yes unfortunately you should now plan on posting no trespassing signs on the rest of your property lines. Too many idiots out there hunting don't understand the proper safety that it requires. It is people like these that give us hunters a bad reputation. I have hunted for...
