[Groesbeck Hurricane]

POP,

Automatic lights do nothing, they are used to seeing them and do not react. Stray dogs are used to humans, our aged Belgian would be no match for anything bigger than a church mouse these days. But her heart is there, she lets us know when something is close to the yard! She is how I found out the dogs and coyotes were going after our old horse.

Mike,

I'm going by there in a few weeks. Might stop in but their prices are higher than some other on-line sources I looked at. Always nicer to try it out before buying... Hope your move is OK! Never got that barn ornament ;-) of a Jaguar!

Scott,

Yes, Cola (the horse) might taste good with some bbq sauce after heating with a nice bouncing bettie. One never knows till one tries! Of course, Wife is a crack shot and it is HER favourite animal. Most likely including me...

CUJO,

Thank you for chiming in! I have used some OLD Russian stuff and it seemed OK for the short term use. I have had some of the Pros tell me they used the stuff and it worked well in field. It does have it's own set of problems and repairs are impossible.

Any particular manufacturer you'd suggest/prefer?

Fuzzy would have to lock up half the county of rednecks here. And down by the river where we live sound travels strangely. Neighbors are 1/2 mile off or more depending upon direction and they are doing the same thing. Sort of why I now have an issue...

But, I am legally able to take out problem animals and I am not going out into the woods looking for trouble. These are animals that are coming right into my front yard and killing my livestock. I'm good with letting them live, until they start costing me money. My cows and other horses can take care of themselves quite readily (I have already removed dead dogs). The old horse and the birds are nothing more than sitting targets.

Tim,

Interesting thought about small powerful light. But I was wanting to see before/when they saw me as well. BUT that would be a less expensive route...
