The story started 2 weeks ago. A friend of mine had lost a few fowl from their coop. They lost one every other night for a week. I suspected one of the following: Coyote, bobcat, raccoon or mink. So I contacted H20hunter to ask if he had a trail cam I could borrow since I don't own one; YET. As luck would have it he had just retieved his the night before.
The first night I had the camera too high(4'), no good pics.
I moved the cam to about 2' above ground level. Nothing except normal farm animals the next 2 nights.
I decided to not check it for a few days thinking the animal was catching my scent. I went and checked it tonight.
As you can see he finally showed himself :)
We had found feathers were he dragged the birds over the fence. He went over the 7' fence in the back ground. he even left a single paw print in the muck and muddy smears on the fence post.
Now I get to try and pattern him.
Hope you enjoy the pics

Looks like a nice Tom! Find someone with a trapping license and get that guy.Thought about that except this is less than 100yds from the house and there are dogs, cats, etc running around. :dunno: 95% of the pics were of those and rabbits.

Remember, cages only so pets shouldn't be a worry.Looks like a nice Tom! Find someone with a trapping license and get that guy.Thought about that except this is less than 100yds from the house and there are dogs, cats, etc running around. :dunno: 95% of the pics were of those and rabbits.
