Well, Tim, I'm not feeding them by choice! They come around and help themselves to anything they want! About the only thing they have to eat in my yard is the dogs food (and he apparently ducks into his dog house and lets them help themselves) and some nuts that fall out of the trees. I don't think they're big corn eaters because I don't see any of their tracks around the deer feeding area. In any event, outside of tearing up the neighbors gardens, they really don't bother anybody. The wild pigs and the coyotes are the real problem! They don't do nothing but damage and I'll shoot every pig I see. George Orwell was right about them facist SOB's! Coyotes are a little trickier. You have to fire a warning shot - a near miss - and if he runs, you shoot him. If he stands there and stares at you, he is the dominant male in the pack so you let him go. If you kill the dominant male, the rest of the males will have a coyote orgy and you'll get overrun with the ornery bastards! Most people here that have horses also have a donkey. Horses will hurt themselves trying to avoid a coyote, but a donkey will run it down and kill it. Damn......I've been living out in the country too long!
