The victim,,,and the criminals scat

Can't make out the scat really well....coon?
You get hit in daylight? May be a fox.

Is it a grape vine ? Near the gun?

No, That is a nightshade if I recall correctly. It fools a lot of people into thinking it is a wild grape.... Eating it is a rookie error only made once in a life time.

I am thinking coon by the way the damage was done. It is so dry and sandy I had no footprints to go on. I do see a coyote on the tree line when I don't have a rifle with me.... I am thinking of setting some snares for it now..

I doubt this was her though, she takes the body with her back to her pups. Last year she took about 20 birds from me. I was generous and allowed her to live over the winter....Generosity ended when she took that rooster. He was the one that was Best of breed at the State poultry show.

Once in a shortened lifetime, eh.

Get a holster & go armed, or sling the rifle across your back

Deadly?

I was always told it was, but that could be something parents and grandparents just told us as kids...Like I told my kids and grandkids..

I am sure it must be mildly at least..Other wise my Grandma would have made some terrible tasting medicine we would have had to eat or rub on our bodies for some illness she was saving us from..........You have not really lived until you are forced to drink wormwood tea.....

I'll pass on the living, thanks.

I will start stashing rifles and shotguns in all the buildings and in easy open bags near trees if I have too..

I feel like I am some survivalist camp exile when I do that stuff. But it may come to that. Also I will keep dogs outside when I am not home and in kennel when I am so I can keep baited traps out. The real traps not the live traps..

Oh, I see a lot of these plants and know them by a name our family taught us as kids, so it could be something else too. It is amazing I can be this old and not know the real name to so many of the plants and trees here.
