Processing sites I find easier once trees drop leaves. They have been close some times

I guess ya never know because I have cats all around here and I haven’t heard my birds go nuts not once. I’ve got over 100 chicken eyeballs in the yard. Might explain why the birds haven’t made a peep. They wouldn’t be alarmed by a cat.

Bobcat I had launched out of heavy brush probably within only a few feet of victims. All victims were free-range cocks taken very near house well away from pen areas. I lost three cocks over about a month where another was put out to replace a loss. I did not know it was a bobcat until I got lucky and saw laying on a branch in a tree directly under dogs checking things out. Cat flushed not because dogs where there, rather because it caught me looking directly at it. After giving chase dogs knew from that point on that kind of cat is no good. It also killed at least one of my wife's domestic cats. Holes in back of head clue of that.

I’m not convinced this is a fox. I’m leaning more toward coyotes. Foxes slip up just a little bit. Coyotes are flat out humbling. Where occasionally you’ll catch s glimpse of a fox or even the eyes at night. Coyotes will rarely show themselves outside of cover.

Coyotes here roam around here without a care in the world... Whole packs would cross behind my old house well past sunrise. casually too, not running, but foraging.
