Yeah ..... I guessed at the weight, and probably embellished a bit ! :idunnoI compared the size to my little dog Gomer, who weighs about 25 pounds .....
I assure @Mtnboomer, and everyone that I was well within my rights to take this predator that was actively harassing my flock/pets.
I confirmed this with my friend, the local MDC officer.
This fox had become so bold that my presence had little effect on it's behavior, and was terrorizing...
I live in a very rural, heavily wooded 11 acre lot at the end of a 3/4 mile gravel road. The closest neighbor is about 1/2 mile away.
A couple of months ago I lost 2 birds to this fox and his mate. I also lost one at the end of last year, I suspect to the same pair.
I relegated the chooks...
