What Predator...?

[BigBlueHen53]

I'm not sure about this camera. I haven't seen any pictures from it but from the price and the specifications, I would consider it and it takes the standard SD card according to the ad.

Thanks, cmom, I'll check it out.

Thanks again, @fishsticks. For tonight we are putting out a live trap. If it's an opossum we'll transport it elsewhere. DH got some welded wire fencing and spent the day clearing and mowing so he can start installing it. We should be okay.

Well, the trap is set, all the chickens are safe in their coop and now all we can do is wait. We're hoping all the activity didn't cause our predator to decide to hunt elsewhere tonight, we'd really like to have an answer, and a resolution, TONIGHT! We'll keep you posted!

Well, it's 9:30, and way past dark. If our predator was going to make an appearance it would have by now. I guess it would have while the chickens were heading for the coop. Anyway, nothing tonight.

7:00 Monday a.m. Success! We have captured a young raccoon!
He will be going for a ride this morning and will be released farther out in the forest.

Glad to hear you caught one, likely there are more.
Dispatch the critter, don't release it somewhere else where it will become a nuisance (someone else's problem) and trap wise to boot.

Oops, forgot to add photos. He is a cutie patootie, but ... I can't have him eating my chickadees! So long, Mr. Coon!

Oh..... yes that would be ideal, but we have no way to dispatch it.

Dispatching it would be best. None of your neighbors have a .22 you could borrow?

We may have to invest in a "critter gitter" at some point but at this point we don't have one. Sorry.
