[Sca-cooks] fruit trees

[rbbtslyr at comporium.net]

I did that for coyotes in our SC farms chicken house it worked for a few
months until they got use to them, moving them and adding an outside strip
of flashing Chirstmas lights helped as did a pistol when I caught one coming
out of the chicken house with Rooster Cogburn in his mouth! ( The Rooster
was a BIG Buff Orpington, show bird that was a pet!).  Before that they got
85 Chickens in 3 weeks out of 86! 3 Turkeys 1 goose, 5 guineas, 100 bobwhite
quail, and a few pheasants. (80 of the chickens were pullets so I was out of
the organic egg business for a good while and buying eggs) It has been a
slow rebuild of the flock as I have been building new pens and such, my
ducks have been safe, as have my few surviving chickens since I tried the CD
idea for the yotes, the Christmas lights are because most of the raids
happen at twilight and early evening and half light in the morning. I think
it reminds hunted animals of the flash off a barrel or scope, then again it
might work in the city reminding them of other dangers.
