Update ladies and gentlemen. I'm going midnight possum hunting
You can do that but plan on doing it often. If there is one there are many. How about putting up an electric fence around a secure run/coop?
I have hardware cloth from top to bottom and out 2 ft on the ground. The top is covered by heavy duty netting. I also have hardware cloth apron around the coop. The run has electric fence all the way around and on top of two sides(in case something tries to jump from the trees or top of privacy fence.
Then I add a german shepherd to that...
