There has been a possom wrecking havoc on my chickens. It snatched one last tuesday and nearly ripped her tail off before I got outside and it split, that one is now in recovery in my guest bedroom. I had the sickest day of skating in a long while yesterday, beers, free food, the whole nine. I came home to the same possom chowing down on another bird, this time she was already dead by the time I got home. I posted up with my gurkha and esee for about 45 minutes and waited for the perpetrator to come back out and finish the meal. I chased it into a pallet along the wall, pinned it with the gurkha through it's lower hips and then put my esee through it's eye socket and put another hole right behind it's shoulder, hoping to hit a lung. I woke up today and couldn't find a carcass even though I know I did the work to put it out and found enough blood to know it didn't make it. I lost a chicken, which my girlfriend raised from an egg, and had to take an animal out in way less humane than I would have liked.
