--001a11425fb48a6fef052091d146 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Well, there's a subject line you don't see every day. I have a borrowed trail cam out and got a nice pic of a coyote; I bait with supper left overs like chicken parts. One person I shared it with was aghast that I would do this..."chicken bones will splinter in their intestines". I can't see this happening...they'll splinter when they're chewed, *maybe (?) *a bit more due to the churning of the stomach. The intestine just isn't strong enough to cause splintering. And I have heard not to feed your dog chicken bones because of the threat of splinters. Yet wild animals eat birds all the time, and I have come across scads of scats in my decades in the woods with splintered bone. Can anyone resolve this conundrum? Why can wild mammals tolerate the bones while domestics (apparently) can not? Thanks, Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS. --001a11425fb48a6fef052091d146 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">Well, there's a subject line you don't see every d= ay.<div><br></div><div>I have a borrowed trail cam out and got a nice pic o= f a coyote; I bait with supper left overs like chicken parts.
