BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Priceless!

I think it is an Acme fused cannonball (cherry bomb?) that is Wile E.'s tool of choice!

My experience is you will have to take what is available.

If a shotgun is your only choice your best bet is at first light.
If you really want to hunt at night, I think your going to need some more range., a 223 or a .22 hornet

You'll need several lights that will shine out over 200Yds. Look for one of these. The red lense is a must. Red light doesn't spoke them like white light does.

Once you get one, your hooked

Robert,

Excellent advice!
Thank you,

Elmer Fudd has been doing commercials on TV so times may be getting hard for him. You may be able to hire him to help with those varmints

you may have coyotes or you may hav foxes but you won't have coyotes and foxes together. coyotes will kill foxes.

Tell that to mine! :laughing: Coyotes will kill but not eat foxes and only if they're feeling pressure in their territory. Five coyotes and about that many foxes have lived here together (much to my chagrin and at a cost of many chickens) for years in peacefully annoying harmony.

Ok, seems a fox or a coyote (I know I have both on occasion) got one of my Guinea Fowl yesterday.

What do you use?

I have a couple shotguns (but I typically can't get to them fast enough) and I have a 9mm side arm and I open carry on the property (not all the time, but often).

Just curious...

You might have to consider putting your fowl in a pen, at least temporarily. Unless you can be there 24/7, a predator will keep coming back until they are all gone, or he's dead. (whichever comes first)

To varmint call successfully, within shotgun range, there is a minimum of 3 things you will need in your favor. Wind direction, sun/light direction and a safety that is completely silent. For more sporting running shots the silent safety doesn't matter and the audible clicking safety works real well for that. And I might add my favorite, #4 buck from a 12 gauge.

At longer distances I like my 700 Remington .243 with 75 gr. hollow point reloads.

Hey! Does anyone know if those gun mounts for ATV's will work on the tractor so I could keep one of my shotguns handy when I'm out in the woods? I'm thinking like those "U" shaped ones with the grippy texture...

Just a thought...

Around here we are seeing them in the middle of the day as well. They have become not scared of people. I have lost ducks, and cats to them. Popped one the other day. I was driving up a nearby road, It was siting on a stump, I stopped grabbed my 22 that was in the truck, and it never moved. Except the drop of the head after I hit it in the ear. 25 yards or less, the thing was not even paying attention to me.

Lots of twins this year for the deer, as well as last year, so lots of food for them. But they will take the easy way as some people I have known.
