The Not So Fantastic MR Fox

Our summer has has a terrible start, the predator pressure this year has sky rocketed ! Between the fox and the pine marten we are literally being attacked on all sides. I am sure that Mr fox needs to go, but how and where is still unknown.

So sad what is happening to your flocks. Do you think if you cut the grass on both sides of the fence it would help? That way the critters would not have a place to hide and travel. I would also get the gun out. If that fox is a female the litter will start to follow her to your place. We have problems with deer eating my garden. My husband is putting a,12 ft. high fence up. I hope that stops them. It is a lot of work going to waste if it does not work.

Thank you for your thoughts. I would love to cut the grass but I have so many neighbours on that side of the property it is just too complicated. Normally the farmer would have cut for hay around a month ago. 12ft fence should do the trick, I have an 8ft and have had no deer in the garden since.
