Nice. I used to have deer come in the yard to snack from the bird feeders but there's too much traffic now.

Just deer? All he has to worry about is just deer eating the bird feed? I have raccoons too...

Raccoons have a tendency to catch lead poisoning in my yard. Coons and squirrels are a pain in the hind end.

In most cases, wiersy, you would be correct, but in this case I need the challenge. I'm trying to outwit the masked critters. If I remember correctly I have the bigger and far more superior brain...Actually I'm having a ball with this "war"...

The little masked bandits are just devious. They seen to only come around the yard late a night to wake the dogs up, tease them for a while then disappear.

Nice pic Glockster. I reckon, if you were to keep her around, then her young one when it comes along, maybe some others will join her....then its a case of gettin' Gelan with his 300 Whisper and slide the screen door open verwy verwy slowly..... pppphhhhhtttt....thwooop..... wtf

BUGGER....another one stuck in the barrel...again...on second thoughts, maybe git yourself a bow mate.

Sorry Gelan...couldn't resist it mate. Razz

Reminds me of a post a couple of years back mate...someone was having a right royal tussle with some beavers I think....never heard what the final outcome of that one was...

Be interesting to hear your saga Bushy...fill us in mate.

Cheers, Vince

No Beaver problems but Muskrats are a big problem for my yard around my Pond. Their little tunnels that collapse when I drive over them with my lawn mower, I keep these little Rodents under control with the 22 or .410.
