Racoon

Humble yourselves before the Lord,
and he will lift you up.
 James 4:10


We have a chicken pen and coop that is fenced in.  This is where we keep most of our chicken.  But we also have a chicken tractor that Billy moves every day that has chickens in it as well.  Lately we've been losing chickens from the tractor.  Once something had taken the lid off and grabbed one.  Billy clamped the lid, but the next morning there was a headless chicken in the tractor b/c something had reached in and tried to pull it out.  We borrowed some live traps to catch whatever varmint was killing our birds.  This morning b/f he left for work Billy went out to check the traps.  Victory.  A big and beautiful coon was in there.  The kids thought it was great!  Until they discovered the fate of this poor coon.  The traps owner is hoping to have a coon skin hat!
