Northern MN, my original home, had a reasonable balance. We had a number
of pack of timber wolves in the area that made Bambi their main food
source,

Will timber wolves eat dogs, too? If so, I'd like to borrow a couple.
It's interesting that you should ask, for they certainly do eat dogs.
People in our town were warned to never put their dogs out on a leash in
the winter, particularly after dark (arrived at 4:30 in December) after a
number of dogs were taken, killed, and eaten by wolves. Some friends of
ours who live in the country had a springer spaniel bitch killed this past
winter when she was allowed out after dark to use the facilities. I felt
really sorry for them, but they were also Bambi lover who fed deer in the
winter, which in turn attracted the wolves to their area. I'm sure they
would be happy to share some wolves with you. Of course, it would be your
responsibility to catch and transport them. :-)

Sounds like the perfect legal solution. "I don't know nuthin' about youse
dog. Maybe it went to New Joisey, or Florida?"

If you have a deer problem it is because your freezer is too small.


Believe me - if there were a safe way to use a weapon in my neighborhood of
1/4 acre lots, I'd own a larger freezer.

Hi,
I am an occasional lurker to the group. I have to laugh at your
drastic measures. An easy way out but not inexpensive is to buy a product
called "Liquid Fence" at your local garden store. Stuff stinks like the
devil when you first spray it but it works.

Thank you,

Natalie

There wasn't an answer to the ingredients of Liquid Fence, which someone
requested. Here's what deters Bambi:

Putrescent Egg Solids
Garlic
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Potassium Sorbate
Xanthan Gum

Smell 'em and gag! VBG

I can't afford the fence I want yet, so I'm struggling with half-assed
methods until next season. What's worked so far has been:

- Hang Irish Spring bar soap underneath upside down 1-quart yogurt
containers (to keep rain from washing away the soap). A friend had
success
with this around his apple trees.


Yes, but then you have to deal with the leprechauns attracted by the Irish
Spring.

there, I spelled it correctly for youse........and I'd figure the
Leprechauns would be searching for bowls of cereal...................gbseg
actually the rumor is they're kissing cousins to the fairies, who like bowls
of cream......and the Leprechauns like mead...........and make single shoes
(never a pair)
madgardener up on the ridge where faeires abound of every variety and
hue.........back in my own Faerie Holler, overlooking English Mountain in
Eastern Tennessee, zone 7, Sunset zone 36

Did you know...
that venison is delicious if floured and fried?
Made into Jerky or stew...

I grew up on it.

Wolves and coyotes WILL kill dogs, yes.

Our neighbors just down the road had a dog that barked all the time.
BUT he wasn't a bad dog he just barked.
They finally tied him to a tree, and left for the weekend with the parents
who live next door to dog sit.

The coyotes got him. The saddest damn thing I think I have ever heard.
MY dog, when I was a little Kate was killed by 'yotes too.. but she wasn't
tied up.

Scramble up some eggs, leave raw, let set a few days to ripen, put in a
spray bottle and spray everything in site. The deer will steer clear.
Works for my mother-in-law. OMG does it ever stink!
Must be reapplied after a good rain.
