tribune june 15 198c5 wideeyed weasel poised to strike if it hadnt have been for that high wind id never have been in the barn just after supper when it began gusting to the point where it was causing a wind tunnel effect it wasnt a major decision to close the back door having battened down the hat ches so to speak i stopped to look in at the young pheasants what greeted my eye however was like a preview to a horror movie there on the floor of the grain room that we had converted to a small brooder house was a weasel beadyeyed and ready to strike somehow i broke out of my back to nature art brisssjude mesmorized state and quickly located a stout stick opening the door i stepped inside just in time to see the weasel pounce on one of the young the domestic hen fostering the 19 poults immediately launched herself at the intruder the weasel however paid the hen little heed as it darted around her and added a second pheasant to its casualty list this confusion of feathers lit ter and fleeing pheasants had all the makings of a massacre in fact the blood thirsty killer was so intent on carrying out its dead ly mission it seemed oblivious to my presence as it dashed into the terrified flock to claim yet another victim i swung the stick and knocked the culprit sideways the mother hen frustrated in her previous attempts to come to grips with the elusive brown predator now landed on the downed weasel with feet and wings flailing her attack however was one of futile revenge for the weasel was already dead as i refilled the upturned feed troughs and picked up the car casses to leave my thoughts drifted to other predator losses we suffered in the past several years ago seven near- grown turkeys were killed on labor day weekend thanks to a- family of foxes while a mink vic timized 21 chickens last fall in a onenight orgy a year ago a pair of skunks took three of our breeding- pheasants and later that summer a couple of raccoons broke through the loft of the small barn and cleaned out 11 more actually there have been many other single and multiple casualties among our poifltry since we revitalized the old farm nearly nine years ago when faced with similar losses i wonder how many of these so- called animal rights activists would stand idly by and watch true we may be creating natural populations by raising these fowl in pens but as ma who have visited our homestead know most of the feathered clan reared here have the run ofc the place in fact all but the wild released pheasants are shutin side during the dark hours j two great products that make
