That was my feeling the time it happened Fabs, until I heard the mass screech of horror from the chicken pen. Then I hopped up grabed jeans and a shotgun and headed out. Got two grazed several that ran off leaving VERY clear blood trails with three shots. Last one hen in the melee and I am not sure she wasn't already toast when I got out there. I am surprised thats all I lost, if it wasn't for the chicken wire they were trying to squeeze under I probably would have lost ALOT more of them.
Thats when the 30-30 took up residence beside the bed. Talk about making the hair stand up on end. That was last year when people in my area were (and still are) loosing ALOT of calves.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
