bobcats and foxes keep pesky things out
Living in North Mississippi we have a lot of different garden critter problems.
I was wondering what you do to keep the pesky things out.
We have deer, coons, moles, opossums, and crows. :bang::bang:
I used to have a lot of problems with groundhogs, rabbits, and raccoons. We have a 10 acre lot in the middle of
an urban area, and shooting anything will bring the police real quick. I used to trap them and drown them
while they were still in the trap, I used those have-a-heart type traps. I was heartless, but I still
lost new plants, there were still too many survivors. The land is part field, part woods. Relief arrived a few years
ago with some new predators which I love, bobcats and foxes. These animals came in because our property
connects to an urban walking/biking trail system which our city has been slowly developing. The area that I garden
has been producing veggies for over a century, my great grandfather had his garden on that spot. He had no problems with varmints because in those days, dogs ran free and unrestrained, and they kept the varmints out.
Not so today, all dogs must be confined or tied up, just like the kids are. I now feel badly about people who hunt and trap bobcats, please leave these predators alone, we need them.
