    Which Way to go?

    Thanks Mary, I only release them after they've been skinned... My understanding is they don't bother chickens after that :) I'll see if I can work up a drawing... but so far my google-fu isn't turning any thing up. Basically I'm looking the doodad to hang the electric fence wire on, but I want...

    Which Way to go?

    Well Today, we caught a raccoon on the the trail cam and in the trap, likely the same raccoon. Question about the fencing, does anyone make a electric fence insulator that is made to do the multiple rows across the top? I can roll my own if I have to but the wife always gets nervous when I do...

    Which Way to go?

    My experience in the past with Racoons has been massacre style 3 or 4 birds and they have left them where they killed'em partially eaten. They could have changed their MO but I feel like this is something else. Carcass is no where to be found no bones, nothing but feathers...

    Which Way to go?

    Dog proof traps? (he asked hoping he didn't sound too dumb) Agreed! I agree, may or may not have been him, even if it was, he's probably one of several. So what I'm hearing (reading) is that solid fencing is better/preferred over some-kind of predator urine? Thanks everyone for all the...

    Which Way to go?

    Yeah Opossum in the trap today... for clarity, I actually placed the trap just outside the fence where the feather trail went up. I don't know the Racoons gender, didn't ask and Id hate to assume and offend him :lol I'll work at taking out the tree this weekend, I like the Idea of running...

    Which Way to go?

    Thanks for all the responses guys. The primary fence is 6 ft chain link, around the outside are two strands of electric fence the first about 6 inches off the ground and the second about 10 inches above the first, it off the chain link about 10 -12 inches. Not against going with another stand...

    Which Way to go?

    I'm losing birds to predators. Early on it was Opossums and Raccoons, I installed an automatic chicken door for the coop and lit the perimeter with two strands of electric fence. that seemed to solve that problem, not losing birds in the nighttime anymore. Now I have a new problem and I...
