Game Parks won't lets me do that...already tried! I did tell the great white deer hunters they could also shoot all the coons, coyotes, and foxes they see! the highway gits most of the coons, and the last week it gots 4 of them! ain't seen no foxes for awhile, I think they moved on as there ain't no more rabbits to be found here anymore. the coyotes are still in the area, but they can't jump this fence. have a coon hunter across the road that runs dogs, and I always gave him permission to hunt them coons every year, until I found out he was planting coons out there so he would have plenty to hunt! he no longer gets to hunt this property because of that! I live trapped several earlier this year and took them up to the stockholders place and another buddy's place and across the river to IA.

Bait that tap with a 3 chocolate donuts out of the $1 bag at Dollar General then give him some 2200 ft/sec lead poisoning. Guarantee he won't come back. And if he does, give him the damn chicken

The coons are as full of shenanigans as anything around, you included. The seems where the wire edges meet needs to be good.
I built my mother a little 10 x 20 pen shed. We used chicken wire on 3 sides and the wire had a good overlap in the middle. So only tied it every foot. But after some years something was getting in dining on chicken and leaving again and no wholes anywhere. Darned coon got his nose in between the 2 wires of overlapping wire and the rest followed. But one night he over eat or something and I got there with shotgun before he got away.
Yes cheap cost a few chickens should of put another 2x4 in the side and stapled the overlapping wires down. But in my defense I was lucky the old man got new chicken wire as all wood was "reclaimed" as well as tin roof.
Maybe you need to get county government to build chicken pen, if your a keeping critters they catch. The Fruit Loops here are talking $30 or $40 million for a new animal shelter here. |

Something was getting our chickens when I was 13. I ended up following a sparse blood and a feather once in a while trail out to the road by the end of the drive way. Went and got a flash light shined it in the culvert as no light shown thru from other side. Sure enough orange red eyes staring back, 3 rounds of Thendrix 2200 ft/sec lead poisoning (.22) later no red eyes. Nailed a 12 and 8 ft 2x4 together and pushed out the biggest striped polecat I ever seen. No more Chickens lost.
