Bold Fox attack

[farminglady]

I suggest getting a LGD, Livestock Guardian Dog. I have a 160lb Great Pyrenees and a 110lb Slovensky Cuvac. We had a HUGE coyote problem, those **** yotes killed our Golden Retriever in broad daylight about 150ft from our house. I got the LGD's and goodbye coyotes, foxes and coons.

I know, this was, like 20 years ago though.

Anyone have any luck with those motion sensor lights that are supposed to frighten predators off? Apparantly predators don't like the bright lights. Hmmm....I have an extremely bright light beside my barn, lights up the entire parking lot and yet, I've seen coyotes standing right there. I wonder if the fact that the light only comes on when triggered by movement is what works, the shock factor or something. Any thoughts? The whole idea of motion sensor lights keeping predators at bay sounds hokey to me but if it works then I'm game for setting some up inside the barn.

If the light is on then wild animals will walk right on in as I have watched Fox do this time and again and one of my Favorite is the Bob-Cat to get the chicken feed and please do not ask why, but if the light is set to sensitive to catch these pesky critters my experience is they tend to run away from the sudden light coming on for some reason .....
