Stayed in the tree stand hunting the fox last night in the pouring rain for 2 hours, I got totally soaked and the ducks played in the rain and no sign of the fox.
I’m keeping the ducks in lockdown for one more day to make sure, I don’t want to let them out to only have the cycle of death start all over again.
If the fox is still around he’s going to make an appearance really soon, it’s been I think 5 days now so he has to be getting hungry for some fresh duck.
The ducks were totally calm last night in the pen, no false alarms even after I went back into the house.
The 10 bags of pellets 550lbs (250kg) isn’t lasting too long, I watched 2 bags disappear in front of me this morning in less than 15 minutes and the next 2 bags they made a serious dent in. $160 dollars worth of duck pellets gone in less than 2 days, this lockdown is expensive.
When I went down to the swamp to check the snare I discovered a bunch of new fresh tracks in the swamp, at first I thought oh no it’s the fox but it turned out to be only raccoon tracks. I have no problems with coons they only come around at night and can’t get near the ducks, if they start to cause me problems I’ll take care of them.
Worked on the new feeder today, made some serious head way on it I need to go to town tomorrow to get another sheet of coroplast to line the inside of the hopper, then it will be done I think it will hold at least 7-8 bags of feed we’ll see tomorrow.
The lawn is really growing like crazy and seriously needs the ducks to give it a cut for me, I can’t believe how good the lawn looks. The rain really washed away all the duck poop in to the soil and it’s so green now with no weeds.
I was going to take the big camera with me up into the tree stand tonight then I realized I’m going to use the predator caller I bought so I need both hands so no camera in the tree stand tonight.
Spent 3 hours in the tree stand and no sign of Mr. Fox, my mouth is sore now from blowing in the predator caller for over 3 hours. While I was in the tree stand hunting the fox I couldn’t believe how calm the ducks were, they were completely calm no freaking and peaking.
Playing in the water like they’ve never been terrorized by a predator in the pen, it’s like they’ve forgotten about the fox completely it’s got to be because I actually did hit him when I took that shot and he’s just gone now to fox heaven.
