First time I’ve seen mange in this area

Post by Boo »

This young fox showed up during daylight a third time. Twice it went into the garden boxes about 40 yards from Karin while she was tending the vegetable garden. So the 3rd time I shot it with a 17 HMR. I could careless if it was passing through but it just spent too much time in the raised bed area and it was just a matter of time before my 2 Malinois got a hold of it. They say 3 times is a charm and it was!

i was running my sons coyote sets behind my house about 3 years ago. my grandsons and I ran across a coyote in a set and it was the mangiest thing I had ever seen, plumb nasty. I dispatched it and told the boys not to touch it, retrieved some gloves and dragged it into the woods, left the gloves with it.

Nasty!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
