You'll lose some chickens in the process, but you'll also be able to kill the little *censored*. Rig up an alarm on the hen house door so you know when to go out with the lights and shotgun.

Did that a couple times when I was younger with chickens. Shot a Yote once then a Great Horned Owl. Wing span on the owl was more than six feet. Had to give the owl to the WDFW for their collection...

Post by: Big10gauge on September 21, 2009, 07:27:47 PM: This is not a recommendation nor would I do it. Back in the old days they would use treble hooks with pieces of meat on them tied up about 3 or 4 feet above the ground. Like I said I wouldn't do it myself but I guess back then their chickens were worth a lot more a old chicken thief, and nowdays we are more attune to ethical or humane treatment of animals.

Post by: PolarBear on September 21, 2009, 07:36:05 PM: These days they want us to sit down with the coyotes and try to reason with them and come to a compromise. I also wouldn't tie some meat to a live 220 wire either.

Neither would I, Now live 3 phase wires might be interesting
