I’m really lucky. No monkeys and somehow no squirrels. Squirrels will go through and take 20 tomatoes, take one bite of each, and just drop them on the ground. I think it’s because my property used to be one of the top Akida breeders in the world. They had about 2 dozen dogs here. I think their scent must still remain.

My next door neighbor loses a chicken to Fox every 3-4 months. 5 years and not a one. We’ve had deer and elk jump the fence but the coyotes stay away. We did have a rabid skunk this spring. He died when he drowned in the neighbors goldfish pond.

I use the pigs to clean up the orchard. Makes them taste better too when the time comes.
