dang,my buddy that trains dogs went out to his holding pen for pheasants this morning to find 75 ,yes 75 dead pheasants! mostly head/neck kills.pen has a top too,so not a bird,am thinking mink or coon but mostly mink.i caught one for him about 5 years ago that did the same thing,just not as many.he has another pen right next to it that he thinks itll come back to,so the war begins my friends

Mink must have been exhausted after all that, lol, good luck getting him!

75 birds is a lot for any one bird killer to polish off. This time of year, A#1 chicken killers are often mamma coon and this year's hatch. She is teaching them to hunt.....and they all get to kill a bird or two. But 75 is even a lot for the 3, 4 or 5 of them to deal with. Maybe 2 or 3 sets of coon could do it. Missing heads and such, but they also tend to strip out some breast meat, and often drag one or two out of the pen......which mink and weasels usually don't do. Am curious to see what it turns out to be.

Any fisher around your neck of the woods?

some breasts were eaten.im gonna lay it heavy with bucket sets for the coon and blind sets for mink along the outside perimeter and see what happens,no domestics too worry about,soo gonna hit it heavy and see,results tomorrow hopefully.no fisher around here sam

That Sucks !!

That's a big financial hit

I lost over 75 12 week old chickens in one night. We lived right of a creek and I highly expect it was mink as like your friends, mostly just the head was gone.

They killed the whole flock so I never set any traps wish I knew what truly killed mine. Hope you catch yours
