(Well-meaning) human predators in the chicken run, Oh No!

[BigBlueHen53]

Yes, but so far, have caught 5 cats and 1 opossum in the yard - since I retired and am home all day, no further humans in the yard - besides, all tools of value have been stolen already. Replacements are kept in a closet in the house.

That's a sad state of affairs.

Yes it is. I live in a fortress. My dogs tore up barking night before last about 1:30. turned on the lights and went outside to see if it was another critter. None seen. This morning, it is rainy, so I went on the back patio to drink my coffee- there is a muddy shoe print on the arm of my glide. It sits in front of a window - which is locked. The trail camera was not pointed at the patio- just the shed. Will get cameras today for the patio.

I'm sorry to hear that you continue to have problems like this. I hope you get those additional cameras and get a picture of him/her if they come back on your property. Best wishes.

Here at this house, if you dare to enter, you will not walk out. Mr. Glock will get you!

Oh mercy. Why on earth? What would that give them access to? Stay safe, Sister!

Mr. Glock is my protection. Most people won't come around if they know you have a gun available and are willing to use it. My husband says the worst thing to face is a woman with a gun and more so if she is angry.

True that. She might beat you to death with it, n then shoot you for good measure!

I have a … protection myself. But, you have to shoot them when they are in the house. IF you shoot them on the patio, you could go to jail. I am not strong enough to drag a man through the window. I would prefer they leave me alone. To advertise what I have, just encourages crackheads to come get it. I put a lock on the 6 ft privacy fence, they jump over -and ripped one of the boards off the fence. I have all new windows and doors. Now I know why all the old ones were nailed AND glued shut. I have two small dogs, I think my next move may be a HUGE dog who doesn't like people.

Sounds good to me! Stay safe.

No I would shoot first and ask questions later!!!
