Sure did, but i think there may have been a third coon or possibly a coyote that got the barred rock hen.

Two reasons. First they hole up during the storm and emerge afterwards hungry and secondly all of the trails/scents are fresh and easy to follow.

The first day after a big snow storm is a good day to call in Coyotes!

Most excellent insight. Thanks Les!

Will be traveling next week from Oklahoma to Florida in a pick up. I can go east to Atlanta and down, or south to south east Texas and east, or anyway in between to get there. Will be coming back later that week and can use either route as well to get back with a closed in trailer. Anyone needing anything ~legal~ transported within this area and time frame, there or back, can contact me to make arrangements. PM or better yet, email me - [email protected]
