I hate to say it but around here I think TS has HTF and I'm revving up for problems. I thought I'd had the coyote population pretty much thinned down but apparently they have been recruiting this year. Last week coyotes opened the chicken yard gate (don't ask, but trust me they can do it!) and got into the chickens, carrying off 12 of them. All started to settle down in a day or so, with Ms Meek learning how to shoot a shotgun so as to stand guard.
But tonight I brought home a deer and field dressed it in the front yard. Danged coyotes came within 15 yards of the house to snatch the plastic garbage bag full of entrails. Sounded like a party outside but they all left when I went running out (unarmed except for her little 20 ga and still half covered with deer blood) to join in the fun but they didn't loiter within shotgun range.
So I'm hanging up the deer rifle and breaking out the AR for the duration of the siege. I don't have enough expanding lead bullets so will use FMJs even though I don't think coyotes signed the Geneva accords. The chickens are all demanding revenge, otherwise I'd try to negotiate a cease fire.
