We cannot forget the Native American population on these shores that helped many to survive the sometimes harshness of this land. Sorry.

Good ole predator wild dogs eating hawgs gone wild and disruptive to Nature. Balance of Nature disrupted for too many years. Answer: Kill the dawgs and sell the hides (still countries willing to buy) kill the hawgs salt them down and smoke them. Yeah that's the ticket D&D another project. Smokehouse and tannery. Just kiddin'. But, that's exactly what the peoples of this great nation did to survive when they came here. Hello JohnMinn, you have helped me greatly with my health issues and you don't even know it. Thank you. Gee Guys. Coyotes and wild hawgs!

salt them down and smoke them. Yeah that’s the ticket D&D another project. Smokehouse and tannery. Just kiddin’. But, that’s exactly what the peoples of this great nation did to survive when they came here. Hello JohnMinn, you have helped me greatly with my health issues and you don’t even know it. Thank you.

We have some really outstanding "long range" shooters in the area and they are very helpful with the coyote problem. I do wish they would visit more often, but they know that once you shoot a couple of coyotes in an area the coyotes will abandon the area and "look for" more friendly areas. Speaking of the coyote types, I have a suggestion. With the systematic inflation of the currency, now the prices of foodstuffs is reflecting that inflation. I would STRONGLY advise everyone to get busy and plant a "Victory" garden. I now have a 70 X 140 garden. Which is protected by an extra heavy duty Bull Dozer electric fencer with 3 strands of very HOT wire. I will guarantee you don't want to touch that fence. The first strand is 8" off the ground, the second is at 18" and the third is at 50". The bottom strand is "a pain in the neck", and I have to spray the grass under that wire with an 18" wide band of roundup. I really don't like pesticides of herbicides around my foodstuffs, but without that lower wire the critters will relieve you of the work of harvesting a crop. For those who live in a smaller grounds area, I would recommend a pyramid garden. There are many plans for those available on the internet. The cost of a garden is a wonderful hedge against inflation, and "Home Grown" just seems to taste ever so much better than "store bought". Ardy makes the finest tasting "tomato juice" I have ever tasted. She uses other garden produce to give it that special flavor. A big garden is a big burden for us old folks, so we have some younger ones involved in that garden. Dealing with some of the wildlife is a bit of a problem.
