Worrying about "Nawth Gawgia, up above May-retta", you should really watch the 'yotes with your goats and chickens. We stake out a goat and shoot 'yotes away from them, as a hunting tactic. THAT is the reason for AR's in today's hunting world; keeping your "bait" safe from harm. I've lit-up as many as 7-8 'yotes at a time using a tied-out goat. That old goat sure does like me. haha He knows who's the one who kept them off him.
As for weasels, I believe there are weasels in every continental state. Mink, Ermine, Weasel, Ferrets, all about the same thing consdering different colors. Viscious lil buggers, and better at "getting in" than a Ranger.
Also, 'possums will definitely tear-up your chickens, as well. I've had to eliminate a few, this year, and my losses have been reduced to zero, with the singke exception caused by my neighbor's dog, who, uh, doesn't mess around in my chicken pen, any longer. G'luck to all on the critter front. Sometimes ya have to kill a few to let the rest live.
