Let's start this story with the rules of the ranch. So here at Timber Rose Ranch aka the Offishialbusiness.com headquarters, I/we do not like shooting lots animals. However the rule is, if they come inside the house fenc line or attack/harrass our livestock or pets they are dead.
Now that the legal disclaimer has been stated we are good haha.
So after about a year of holes dug under the fence line and the coops being damaged a little, we figured bobcat or coyotes. So the night before last we ended up loosing 4 new hens. This was strange no clues justvfeathers. Except the lid was kinda still open. So we went and finally got a chainlink kennel and put a top on it. Thank you @Terri_O and @Oatums.
As most evenings I spot light the ranch for coyotes etc... and listen for anything abnormal. Well you guessed it, chickens where in distress mode and I heard the top of the coop slam. I walk over and there is a bob cat in the new coop. She was now pissed and bouncing around like a ping pong ball. Finally out the small 8 inch gap at the top. And I watch her go up the embankment over the fence and sit. Game on I walk on the house tell @Terri_O and grab my gun. Meanwhile my battery is at 5% no camera. I walk back out and sire enough there hunched down inside the fence line now looking at me and me looking with crosshairs between her eyes. Pop goes the 22 and game over. Team offishial business wins. Wishing @Oatums was there to have got on video. Next time..
The taxidermist man is always nice when family and you call him ask him best way to get it ready. Freeze it whole haha. Ok. Thank you wildlife art taxidermy, https://www.agwildlifearts.com
