Racoons have came back , they have killed 7 chickens . They found away into our chicken house . I started trapping them and have caught 5 large predators . Thought I had them all but found tracks this morning . My farm is in a valley between a curve in the mnt range and the hollers in the mnts run into 2 creeks my property is between these 2 creeks . nice location and good hunting but the varmits follow hese creeks also . I havnt replaced my gard dogs yet . My dog lots are next to my chicken lots and that always protected my chickens .
