Well, If I didn't live in the city limits and have nothing better to do, I'd probalby sit in a corner of my property and hunt them too! Can you come here Redneck Farmer and hunt mine, too? (just don't get the cat!!)
ME TOO! good coon is a dead coon in my books..
LOL! Cat can watch! Too funny! I think this is a first for threads that didn't get derailed by someone with more delicate sensibilities.
I think we all need to keep an open mind to the many ways folks have to protect their poultry. I like to think we're no different than the cattle farmer who needs to protect his livelihood. Sure, some of us may just be hobbyists, but we all have invested a certain amount of $$$, time & effort to enjoy it. Some of us free range because its healthier (if preds don't get them, that is. At least they die free) & can't afford to fence off a substantial amount of property. Trapping/hunting works for us & many others. I started out disliking any firearm, but now I'm comfortable with most firearms of various calibres. I need these to get the job done & done well. I can't stand the thought of any animal suffering. I AM an animal lover, but I have a different perspective on nature since getting chickens. I love my chickens more than a chicken-eating fox or coon or what-have-you! That being said, I don't begrudge folks who pen their birds either. It's a choice that they can live with. If they have Fort Knox, they don't have to worry about having to deal with preds. Good for them! I think we can all agree, that depending on one's own circumstances, there are different ways of raising poultry. So in case someone sensitive comes to this thread, please, can't we all just get along? I don't poo-poo your way, don't poo-poo mine please..
Ha, ha! Ah yeah, tell me about it! I have just about every kind of terrain here in miniature form. A marsh, a swamp, creek, 2 ponds, 3 acres cleared pasture & 15 acres of mixed soft/hardwoods forest. It attracts just about everything, so I sure do understand. With a high predator load in the area, lethal force is sometimes necessary.X2!!!!
Fort Knox!! Hahahahahah perfect! I believe my coop is a Fort Knox but my birds can free range when I'm there( because here in FL in the swamp there's 174739892 different predators that would kill them if I'm not there)
