Him making a bloody nest at the top would concern me. Living around farm land, there are always Hawks, Eagles and Owls around, we have to be a bit careful when letting the pup out to do her business. The boys were out duck hunting on the last weekend of season and lost two ducks they hit to Eagles wanting an easy meal.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on February 18, 2013, 06:11:53 PM: I don't know that he's all that dirty. I'm thinkin he's 2-3 years old and going through that color phase change to full maturity. And yes, our little girl would be just an appetizer, but I see birds of prey take smaller animals all the time around here.
