The cycle of nature...and you are right, birds for some reason, are keenly aware of shadows thrown from the sky...Cannonpointer » Yesterday, 9:48 pm » wrote: ↑ They do not concern me. My hens are predator averse, with the exception of the easter eggers. Even they are nominally predator averse, but they're the last in every night, and last in = first eaten when you're a chicken.
My top rooster is a **** machine. If an eagle or a hawk takes a **** within a hundred yards, he's issuing the sky-threat call and the hens are ducking under cover. I have lost ZERO birds to the sky threat. Coons claim about one kill a month. And if I have one coon on the property, I have a hundred.
I'm trying to wrangle up a coon hunt, but everyone I know with dogs is a professional and none of them owe me any favors. If I could get a coon genocide, I don't believe I'd see or hear another masked bandit for a year. Blood on the ground is a hell of a motivator. I'm working on it. I'll make a connection eventually.
Edit: I overstated my death rate. It just SEEMS like a kill a month, because it pisses me off to no end. In the last 9 months, I've lost three birds.
are they in a caged roost at night?
you should do like a buddy of mine did in Nam...every night they set up a perimeter of tripwire and Claymores planted against trees facing out...
that'll get the sons a bitches...
