my neighbor across the street got one fox... one down and loads to replace it... all's quiet on my side since last Sunday. i'm going to take the traps down tonight, so the cats can go out again. i've kept my gang in a fenced in run, which i am working on expanding. they're not getting any...

thanks OK, it's a good thread, spent the evening reading the whole thing and then i did contribute my sad story.

Barney, and Lily... i found Lily's tail feathers. He was my BaBaBaBarney... he was such a flirt with yogurt lipstick... she was affectionately called Lily Love Darling .22 mag, which probably won't be what kills the fox, that'll be the shotgun, but i don't have a surplus of shells... the...

thank you so much, it's my EE pullet, Blu B'ree. if the fox got her... i would have been really crushed. i love all my birds, but Blu and a little BR pullet named Wilma are my sweety gals! here is a full body shot of Blu i'll put up shots of Barney and Lily later on, i have to leave for...

thanks a bunch...! i do appreciate the fact that we all share the same feelings about our feathered friends... it's all about giving them a good life while they are here... Russ, BH = Better Half... which he is, most of the time...

yes, it's plentiful, and i'm providing more... Barney, my cockerel fought valiantly to save his Lily from a fox that snatched her up. i was 20 feet away. cloud cover and hunger and an easy meal made him brave. he killed Barney and took Lily away. i keep a gun right at the back door, but it...

the cats ignore the trap. but it's still empty...

well... whatever it is... it's evasive and apparently not hungry enough to be trapped...

before the critter escapade began, i would let my gang free range from the time i got home from work til they cooped themselves, sometimes, i would have a really early day and they could be out from a little past one... they have 3 hang out spots besides their run. the enormous communal dust...

oh no, i haven't forgotten... my neighbor has been luring predators to our hilltop for decades with her pet ducks and geese... and i've lost 3 cats in the past 12 years to coyote. my coop and run are more than fairly secure... and there they will stay until this creature is trapped. i do give...

trap is still empty... but on the lighter side... I've seen no more weird tracks, and no unusual scat.

my BH is a taxidermist... i'll get something, mount or a hat... trap is still empty...

live...dead... i missed that on the first go round... jk HappyRoo, we know what ya meant and btw, i love your avitar pic, my pug won't let me put a winter sweater on easily... i'd never get her in that costume!

no luck... trap's empty yet again... we've been having some pretty steady rain this week, which is great, because we need it so bad - I don't think my lawn is coming back this year tho'... my neighbor has been spotting a possum large enough to make those tracks near her swamp, her DH will set...

ok then... i'll play the waiting game as long as it takes, and it better not take any of my birds!

trap is empty empty empty... marshmallows were untouched yesterday, kinda melty today, from the heat and rain...

well, there was nothing in the trap, but when I woke up this morning, I heard the strangest sound, it took me a minute to realize it was raining! we have had virtually no rain in 5 weeks, taking a walk on my property sounded more like walking on bags of potato chips... so... better luck today...

it's funny, i just leave my trash in the wheelbarrow at the end of the driveway, it's never ripped open, i'm the only one within a mile with cats, and my cats are all fixed so they don't draw cats from beyond, which they would if they were in heat... i've got coyote, fox, and birds of prey. the...

cool, if i don't have something in the trap by morning, i'll pick up marshmallows after work... I've been asking around the hilltop, and even those who like trapping claim there's no food source for coons up here... I've got a nice big trap, plenty of space
