I have news to report from my outpost and sorry to say our side is losing in NW Pa. I have a flock of chickens that in the spring numbered 13, 5 of which layed daily, 8 of which I had plans for laying in the late summer. Currently we have been besieged and their numbers have been reduced to 5. The enemy has changed tactics and started digging under the wall of the hen's coop and in one of those raids took 3 at once. I have since reinforces the walls with cement blocks, and they have yet to work around those barricades. Not to be outdone they again changed tactics to ripping through the screen windows and in one of those raids killed three and wounded 1 that later succumbed to its injuries. One of my hens was then wounded when it went A.W.O.L and wouldn't return to its baracks at night. We thought it would fight the good fight and mend, but went down with gangrene. I have in turn killed 11 of the enemies but more advance weekly. My main method of dispatch is baiting with bread and peanut butter and then dispatched the rotten sobs with a ten pump bb gun to the forehead. I have used a 22long and didn't care for the pass through pinging off the bottom of the cage at my feet. I have more to report on a few of the enemy encounters but my battle brief doesn't seem too brief.

Hang in there Mills, you will overcome. Also sorry to hear of the KIA and WIA in your ranks.

We are maintaining at present but are expecting renewed attacks at any time.

To all troops:

Maintain high alert. The enemy seems to be trying flanking manuvers and mineing operations.

To all who so gallantly bear the brunt of battle you have the thanks of a greatful nation and the admiration of generations of coon fighters yet unborn.

War to the knife. No surrender No retreat.

Eyeball, aka "Major Defeat", please do not be discouraged in this time of struggle.

Sometimes a guerilla action must be employed utilizing stealth and trickery to avoid those who would offer aid and comfort to the enemy.

Remember, "All is fair in love and war"!

I'll tell my tale of direct threat from one of their ranks, this one actually threatened my own troops. Private first born and private second born were pulling bicycle duty up and down the driveway when private 1st born says" hey dad a racoon!!". I thought this odd because is was 15:00 not dark thirty when they usually attack. We'll this devil appeared to be out of his mind and actually made an advance on my troops. I yelled for a immediate retreat back to home base and to bar the doors. I grabbed my 22 semi and ran to meet the foe face to face and rather than high tail it the furry little demon was now double timing in my direction. 3 rounds to the face stopped him in his tracks( although I have to admit that the first round probably went wide because I was a little taken back by his charge). It was a desperate situation but we continue to persevere.

God speed gentlemen.

That is the way man, staunch courage in the face of the enemy is what it takes to win the day.

I handled him with care because I was under the same impression, I put him in a shallow unmarked grave. Later I was told I should have cremated him, we live to fight another day!!

In light of recent hostility on other fronts I decided to take punitive action against a seemingly peaceful member of the hostile forces. His innocent walk in the pasture ( likely a front for espionage) ended in a tangle with homeyard defense officer 'Tuff'. The canine forces provide no quarter nor do they negotiate with terrorists..... potential threat neutralized.

One of those rascals attempted to escape to the north. I took him out with a 460 (cu in F250) I am afraid it may have over penetrated slightly........

Gen Mills,

Given the dire conditions you faced, I will hereby recommend to Gen. Cornpone that you be granted a double portion of "Old Group Tightener and Fish Enlarger" as reward for your gallantry in the face of mortal peril.

Your Humble Servant,

Maj.Malfunction

EH76,

Do you believe the enemy combatant was enroute to the Border? If so, you should immediately inform our northern allies.

Good job with the 460, by the way, we can't take any chances.

At least it wasn't with that .22 WMR pistol your so fond of carrying! If he was headed North, I'm sure you would have put a round through his "Southern Exposure" just like that skunk in the field last year!! grin

May bring my S&W 48 to Antelope camp this year.....

Maintain high alert. The enemy is on the move.
Beware flanking movements.

Have their round haunches gored."
