Troubles Trees
5 year old buck +
I have had a terrible time this year on my land and at my house. I had 2 doe that toted 3 fawns behind them this spring, I saw them several times per day together and was a common occurrence. Twice I saw a coyote stalking them on my mowed paths, by the time I grabbed the gun was already in the goldenrod so I raced on the hill with my 4wheeler in an effort to chase the coyote off and give the fawns another chance. For about a week now I only see the 2 doe so at this point I am fairly certain the coyote won this time.
I had 4 Guinea Hens at my house for tick and flea control mostly. 1 night my daughter could only get 2 of them in the coop and a fox killed the 2 that wouldn't cooperate. One night last week I caught a coon trying to break into the coup, I boarded up the drop down doors that used to be use used to retrieve the chicken eggs when it was a chicken coup. Over the weekend he came back and literally ripped the hinges off and broke the plywood access door and dragged one Guinea out, feathers everywhere. So I completely covered the doors with wood and chicken wire and put a trailcam on it to monitor. This morning I went out and the ******* thing literally dug a hole in the side of the coup through the CDX and killed the last Guinea, this time on the other side of the coup that the trailcam cant see and no pics on the cam.
I understand the circle of life and the food chain but hate to see my little ones, that I plant everything to help survive, get taken out of the circle.
