Oh I’ve seen plenty. When calling foxes they’ll come in to a moving decoy and a predator call. I’ve never had a real issue with them here though. Sooner or later you’ll have to deal with all of it.

That is true it's the name of the game free ranging. If it ain't one thing it's another.

When ya wake up at 3-4am and the birds are steering and fusing and a owls on the top of a dome chilling fixing to wreck birds that'll put a knot in your guts quickly.

This was the earliest I’ve ever had a problem. I’m usually running out half naked toting the shotgun around 2 am.

I’m not sure if it’s a GHO or a smaller one. He hasn’t killed any but ripped this last one wide open. I’m not sure if I can save her or not. That was like 15 min ago.

good luck!

Last one was earlier around 7-8 he was scoping I luckily seen something fly over the porch out of the corner of my eye. They are slick a lot of times they'd just disappear and come back a hour later on me.

Trust me bud I know your pain I'm sick of it myself it's rained since Sunday and not just a little. None of this weather is good for fowl it wouldn't be so bad if it would dry out or freeze but it can not decided what to do besides make a mess.

I think this weather is hard on them. It was 67 yesterday! Today not too bad in the 40s, dropping on down to 20s. Temp changes like that are hard on me too!
I can do without rain for months, I don't know about anybody else.

Sorry to hear about the hen there Havoc.

It is hard on em I agree Like today it may have even been in the low 50s but tomorrow is a low of 10. But wait for it high of 48 Sunday and chance of rain Sunday-Wednesday then back down below freezing for a day or two.

Maybe I should get me some rank dung hill "world champions" feed em some Magical feed that makes crap genes mutate into hulk genes and not worry/complain so much.

With weather like that and muddy conditions I like to give them vitamins and probiotics.
