Nothing keeps ‘em away, like urine around the boundaries or dog/s? fox, yote, big cats and even coons give zero fucks about dogs and scents and other bullshit meant to scare them away. ive had fox take chickens at 2pm not 5 minutes after i had gone inside. i think my neighbor got that particular bastard. I can understand killing introduced species but not native wildlife, unless it’s a clean kill for food. question, how many chicken`s lives add up to the life of a big cat, fox or yote? especally after spending many hours, money, feed, time and energy raising chicks, and square footage of land for quarters and range? once a wild animal finds a domestic source of food it will keeep coming back. they will dig, smash and claw their way into some suprisingly well fortified enclosures. i have been good so far with electric fence. thats the only things thats worked other than bodying the predators. Credit to anyone who attempts other means first rather than just killing them indiscriminately. I appreciate it’s a tough situation, not judging, just a shame they can’t coexist is all. |

User ID: 28178764 United States 01/20/2020 01:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have successfully defended my chicken yard with 6 feet of chicken wire set in concrete at the bottom. On the top, I have hot wire from my fence charger on insulators. I use plastic zip ties to pull the hot wire and chicken wire closer so they cannot squeeze under. Once, I found that a raccoon had climbed the fence and gone under the hot wire. However, when he tried to escape with a young goose he had killed, it connected with the wire. That was a badly burned goose carcass. I'll bet Mr. Coon never tries that again. I moved up to a 15 mile fence charger that packs over 5000 volts. Accidentally touched it with a tool while I was wearing rubber boots and plastic gloves. Still knocked the hell out of me. In the pasture I have lost goats though. The cats climb a neighbor's tree along the fence, jump over, kill and eat one of my goats, and then escape by jumping back up on the tree. Pretty smart cats. I am out of the goat biz. Lost too many to predators. I will try cows next. |

Typical dumbass, lives in wildlife habitat and then wants the wildlife gone rather than adapting to their environment. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78129672 We lock our animals up at night. The cats start coming during the day. Learn something new each day,,,, And love your country!!! FJB |

As you said they are *awesome*. Quoting: ~Sloane~ He relocates them he says in the video. Last year I caught 5 fox , so I took these cats to the same person that has about 600 acres to release them there. Learn something new each day,,,, And love your country!!! FJB |
