The gals taken care of, she walked back up to the coop to burn the bag of household trash in the burn barrel. As she stood beside the coop tending the barrel, looking down toward the barn and pond, she was chatting with the guineas, and they were chattering back.!
She heard something snort behind her, and turned to look.
She, and the wolf, were both shocked. 
Both froze for what seemed like minutes, but was probably just several seconds... Then, the wolf exited stage right. Poof... Just a wolf outline in a falling puff of reddish gray hair drifting down. Meep meep.When she started to breathe again, she walked the two hundred yards back to the house. We figured he didn't see her because she was blending with the coop, and might not of smelled her because of the fire. Hate to think he knew she was there and didn't care... Or worse, was creeping up on her rather than the fowl.
She takes her gun to the coop now.
Funny, that's the same thing they told everyone in VA about cougars and mountain lions when they would call in about the sightings, prints, livestock attacks. NO cougars or Mountain Lions in VA. Then a farmer who had called in several times about sightings, and attacks on his livestock, called and told them to send a Warden out to take a report on the NON-existent corpse of the Non-existent mountain lion that had attacked his horses and done non-existent damage. Of course since they didn't exist, he didn't need a permit to shoot it with the 12 gauge slug, and end it's Non-existent life.
