one less chicken eater

[taprock]

Until about three weeks ago when I lost a hen I haven't been too concerned about predators. Now my attitude is shoot first. This little fellow was out in the field at 8:30 this morning. My husband usually does the shooting but he was still in bed so I shot him out the back window...now I'll go let the chickens out.

Good job your chickens are safe. but remember where there is one there are more. Keep your eyes open.

Great job! I live in northern MI also..LP I will also have become more proficient with a gun. We have the same problem.

Bee-yootiful!

You gonna skin it out and tan the skin? I know I would! In fact, I'd use the skin, and I'd use the meat - well cooked - for chicken food too. I'd not be past trying a little myself, actually. Just so I could say I know how they taste

Of course no one would fault you if you didn't want to do any such things and just bury under a favorite fruit/nut tree.

In any case,

and I'm also curious what kind of gun you used.

Good shooting!

Nice! I would have done the same thing! Even if you don't want the pelt, in some areas there are groups or the DNR will pay per head or pelt...
