The wife and I went to the Redwind Casino last night, so we got in late and slept in this morning. Well the chicken coop is on the side of the house where our bedroom is and at 8:00 a.m. the chickens were going nuts. I jumped up looked out the window to see a coyote looking dumbfounded by the fence it just ran into. Went into slow motion (it seemed) trying to load a gun, and get out of the house. In the 30 seconds or so it took me to do that the yote was gone. My GSP, however, jumped on his track and was gone into the back pasture heading for the woods. My first thought is crap if he catches that yote he will probably get tore up killing it. Back in the house for clothes and out the door for a run in the morning woods. Finally found the dog, after about fifteen minutes of searching, no worse for the wear. And just to think I was going to go out and do some calling yesterday afternoon in the back, but got sidetracked by honey-dos. Gonna have to go out today and use some chicken-in-distress.
