Yep as most had 4" snow here this AM . Got up & about wanted to get to feral pigeon pest hunt early . My wife went out for walkabout to check rooster grow out pen & feed & water . 3 of the 4 cockerels in pen dead . Drained of blood & little feet marks in SNOW . Pulled dead birds out got small live trap from barn set with dead squab from freezer & sardines . Set the trap finished loading van & headed down the road . Donna called me on phone within 5 minutes weasel in trap :-)) Went back dispatched & carried on .
Only 3 guys showed up at shoot got 4 birds all rest were hiding on silo roof (warm tin ) wouldn't fly . Had good time home early cold .
Got the breasts & legs from cockerels , banty & going in stir fry tomorrow . Here's pic ..
