Malt 379 Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Nice bit of control there Ian. I remember we went sort out a few foxes at a chicken farm a few years back. We could see charlie at the margin of this field next to a big barn full of chickens, but the bugger wouldn't come in to a squeak, he just sat there looking. The farmers lad suddenly had a brainwave! He dived into the barn, and emerged with a chicken! He then started to gently stretch the neck a little, the chicken started screaming, then charlie came bouncing across the field! Quote Link to post
