My kid was just out walking around on snow shoes in the woods and found this back behind our chicken coop with a dead chicken down under a tree Last edited by jesseakhunter; 01/21/24 08:07 PM.

I used to see them drag pieces of bait much heavier than them selves across the yard only to start chewing on it there. I always thought why not just save yourself a bunch of work and chew on it right at the bait pile. Idk. I’m sure they have their reasons If you take care of the land the land will take care of you
