@@TheChiefSmokem When I first moved here I bought 20 chicks 5 turkeys had a nice pen chicken wire etc,. It took 3 days all gone. Needless to say I was quite pissed. Actually ripped thru the chickenwire.
In high school, one of my friends who lived in the countryside had a neighbour who had an small organic egg business going. Some predator started going after his chickens, so he asked my friend if he could do something about. My friend has a trapping license, so he called me and the two of us booby trapped both his and his neighbours properties. We ended up trapping over 2 dozen coyotes and other smaller predators (possum, stoat, etc.), which my friend then skinned and processed. He got some money off the skins (I got my cut for helping) but the biggest haul was the deal on organic eggs we got from his neighbour. Anyone who says a coyote cull doesn't work hasn't set two determined teenagers on the job, because we put the fear of Man inside the local coyote and small predator population.
Sorry Chief about your chickens😥 that so sucks. I would of guessed Bobcat or owl!! Both did that to my chickens. I let them go also! They are just trying to survive! So I fixed my pens like fort Knox. All the best to you.
It was a big hit this time, I had hawks get one every now and then. I'm glad I was able to relocate him across the county 😂. I'm glad he didn't get my grown hens 😅
@@TheChiefSmokem Nice, I know you will get more chickens but I also know what it's like to go collect some eggs and see what you saw. Our culprit was a family of raccoons. They were not relocated sorry to say.
I guessed a fox. Man, such a bummer that he killed all your chickens. He was kind of cute little fellah...for a chicken murderer anyhow. I agree that he seemed awfully tame. Cool that you had the mercy to pardon the little guy. I wouldn't have blamed you if you would have given him the o'l 21 gun salute though, haha. RIP chickens. Whats with the hairdo on the nameless survivor? Dude looked like Elvis.
I couldn't believe he took all of them out, he must've been on a rampage the 2 hours I was gone, I'm lucky Elvis got away 😂, I think that's some kind of polish chicken, they have a real weird hairdo 👌 . If the scounrel comes back, I might not be too nice tho 😅.
Condolences, losing animals is always hard. Had a mink get into my duck enclosure and it killed all 5 of my pet ducks. It ripped the heads off of each one. Then stacked all of the bodies together in their hut. Essentially storing them for later, I learned after studying what, who, and how my pet ducks were massacred. It was a harsh experience and lesson about life as a young kid.
I should've predator proofed the coop a little better, but if they want in they will find a way! 💥. I released the mink over 10 miles away and he hasn't come back! It was definitely a harsh experience 😅
@TheChiefSmokem My buddy lost all kinds of chickens on his farm. He kept saying an owl killed them. No, it was weasels. Every one they killed they tore the heads off. No owl does that. We used to raise quail and trained our English pointers. We had a call pen, you would release the quail, train the dogs. Then the covey in the box would call them back to it. There was a funnel in the end, birds would go into it back into the pen but couldn't escape once in. We had a opossum get in a d killed most of the covey, it sucked. Back in the 60's and 70's it was cool. We did every thing outdoors that could be done.
I'm glad you didn't kill it that was pretty cool of you.
Thanks man 👌, I don't like to kill things I don't have any use for 🤙
Your a kind soul, not sure if I could have held back with the high price of a dozen eggs, sure getting hard just to get by😎😎😎
I was guessing a weasel...close😎👍...Hate it for your chickens....
Awesome show, Chief !!!!✌️🍀
Yeah it was a big hit, I had a hawk get one every now and then but this was a massacre 🙃
@@TheChiefSmokem
No jive, man 🤘
Mink got all my rabbits this year. Came out all there brains were eatin came back hour later he in one of the cages eating I dispatched him
They're ruthless little creatures, they can't contain themselves when there's delicious brains to munch 😅
Yep they are just like otters they kill for fun. Hope the people in the blue house has no chickens..... They might not be as easy on it. lol.
It looked like he had fun for sure 😂. Blue house is a warehouse and no neighbors have any chickens luckily for them 😂

God looked down on you today for your catch and release.Acts like someones pet.
Yep, I spared him... this time.

What's up man hope all is good hope y'all have a great thanksgiving will be looking for a thanksgiving special video peace from southeast Missouri
Everything is great! Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving as well 👌
Sorry about the chic's,you might want to reset the traps in case there was more than 1 mink,since so many dead?
I had them set for a week and nothing came back thankfully. He went on a killing spree 🙃
Yeah man I've been there too bro. I lost all my chickens the same way
They're vicious, I couldn't believe he took all of them out, all within a couple hours of me being gone 😅
Bummer Chief !!!!!😥🐔🐔😥 Good relocation brother. Many blessings Chief. Puff Puff.
My first big casualty at the chief smokem farm, I took him across the county to my hunting camp 👌
@@TheChiefSmokem Nice, I know you will get more chickens but I also know what it's like to go collect some eggs and see what you saw. Our culprit was a family of raccoons. They were not relocated sorry to say.
Chief how far away did you take the mink.He could come back.Peace
I took him over 10 miles away to my hunting camp 👌
Why is the kissy sound the international signal for "Come here"?
Lmao it is too 😂
Whispering in a crowd also draws the most attention . . .

Recommended release 3 to 5 miles from your home preferably across a river he are she will travel.
Why did the Mink cross the river.... to get to the Otter side!
I guessed a mink. Seen that happen before.
They're vicious little suckers
I wonder what the old man would have done?
"To err is human ~ to forgive is divine"
Hi Chief , it is good
to see you again
I think you may have
Trapped ,a young
river otter

@@TheChiefSmokem Yeah, that little dude was killing just for the thrill of it

@@TheChiefSmokem 10 miles is a good distance, I hope he doesn’t come back.
I was guessing racoon
I thought that would be the creature to get it. I haven't had a problem with coons... yet 😅
You had to have been upset at first
Without a doubt, I had a few hundred bucks into those chickens 😅
@@TheChiefSmokem Loved your video, no doubt others will learn from it.
@Ephesians617 Thank you very much .
many amazing adorable animals👍, thank you for sharing the video❤️. Have a good day...
Looks like a ferret
Fox
Is a fox are a wolf
I know how u feel :(
Thank you for not killing it, I rehab raccoons & everything deserves the right to live. Much respect!!
Yep, I don't like to kill things just to waste it
He will be back.
I doubt it. What, do you think I took him a mile down the road or something ? That sucker is across the county 😂
Good choice letting it go in different location. 🥰 I knew chief has a good heart ❤️
That's a weasel, they bite the heads off of the chickens. They will decimate the whole hen house in one night.
He got 7 of 8, I'm glad he didn't get my bigger chickens
