Had the same situation--headless fowl. Coons did it. They wake up hungry when the temp is freezing or close even Jan. or Feb.

the ending to both recipes go something like "toss in burn barrel and light the grill" don't they?

Don't think so, found them on the internet, they were amoung other recipies for various varmits. Maybe once you get rid of the scent gland they are edible. I'm not going to try it though.

Ruby -- remember the old line about "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach"? Better watch out, your beau Caustic may start pestering you to fry up a batch of skunk tenders, not being content with only your famous pumpkin pie. :lol:

Sounds like a coon-hard to get rid of them once they start. Need a good dog to keep them away. They can get into about any kind of coop if there's a way they acn crawl in or get the door open. Try getting bags of hair cuttings from a barber and spread around the coops, they don't like human scents.
