Killer on the loose

[The Wolverine]

Lost four of our best laying hens last night. They free-range during the day, and go back to the hen house at night, and we have not locked up the house at night in three years and never had a problem until now.

I followed the trail of feathers across the pasture, and found one a hundred feet into the woods, bot no sign of the others.

I'm thinking coons, or coyotes, either way something is fixing to die from accelerated lead poisoning or excessive H2O, I have found they come out of the live trap easier if you soak it in the pond for a couple minutes first.

The evidence




The solution

I wish you success in the administration of the high speed lead suppository to your culprit(s).

I wish I lived in a more rural area, such as yours. Night before last, one of our (feline) family members was taken by the coyotes. Little buggers sneak into the neighborhood at night from the nearby mesas and open spaces. Local laws prevent the discharge of firearms, use of bows or air rifles in the city.

I began coyote hunting a few years ago as payback for the other feline family member they got then.

One down.

I was heading to work early Thursday morning, and just down from the house one of the ring tailed rat bastards was crossing the road and as I got closer he turned and ran straight away from me, big mistake, I hit the gas and ran him over.

I did stop and try to get a picture of the corpse, but I could hear him pulling himself through brush in the woods, and it was dark so I did not pursue him any further.

We have had a live trap set since the night of the murders, but still no culprits.

Wish you the best of luck on dispensing justice to the culprits.
