These things just keep coming. It doesn't matter how many I shoot, there will be another that moves in to take their place. There's no doubt that I've shot close to 200 (maybe more) in the last 3 or 4 years. And I'm talking small acreage. This kill total isn't from hundreds of acres... It's up close and personal to my home. Disposal of the carcasses is a pain. My neighbor says it smells like Death Valley around here:eek:
I really don't like killing something and wasting it, but these things are a nuisance. Is there a repellant that works?
They dig into everything...retaining walls, french drains, foundations, and fields. Several years ago my elderly neighbor rolled over his Farmall M on himself. He was pinned under the tractor for more than an hour while emergency crews extracted him. He was lucky to survive with just a crushed and broken leg.
They come on my porch and eat deck plants and chew the furniture, railings, posts, etc. I even had one climb up onto the top of the picnic table on my deck! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him lounging on my table.:mad: They hang out like porch dogs. I've seen them climb into the underside of my truck to chew who knows what??
Is there anything, other than lead, that will repel these varmints? I just want to keep them away from my home and vehicles.
