OH no!!!  They got all the birds??  How terrifying!  Are the wildlife people doing anything??


wildlife fish and game have set traps in a ten miles area. After looking at the game can footage, they said that they were closer to 6 months, and probably lost their mom in last weeks wild fire. The way they killed show that the had no understanding of what they were doing.
 
Sitting up late with a gun(pellet gun wish I had a real one) tonight, just got word that my neighbor about 2 Miles up the mountian, had her whole flock... 103 birds total: guineas, chickens, peafowl, geese and turkeys....killed by 4 juvi cougar males.

I don't think my pellet gun will deter a cougar, gonna go ask if I can borrow a friends guns. She told the cougars were caught on her game cam so she is gonna send me pics, she said by the size of them they aren't but 6 months to a year.
I keep a game cam out in my backyard all the time now since we got our girls. I haven't gotten anything on it yet, but that is a good thing. I have seen, on two different occasions, a bobcat in our yard, but that was probably last summer. I'm hoping they don't come back this year. I don't have a pellet gun, but I keep a 9mm close by and my DH has a .45 ACP ready at all times. Nothing is gonna get to my girls!
