He's DEAD!!!


He's finally dead! I'm so excited, but still cautious! I have been thinking it might be the work of more than just one!
We finally heard Sadie barking last night, so Matthew and I went out to look around, and there was another dead chicken in the pen! We couldn't see any critters, but definitely saw his handiwork! The netting over both pens was ripped! I had the feeling he was still close, because Sadie was still whimpering and running around, but we looked in the trees and in the field with no luck. So, we went in the house, and a bit later the dog was on alert again! This time the boys were both here, and they went out, and found him IN the chicken house hiding at the top. David did the shooting, and did a nice clean job! The skin is in good shape! The only disappointing thing was that the coon had a small-ish tail, but he is FAT on our chickens!
I'm hoping he was the only one, but we'll keep a good ear out for Sadie in the night!
