.............back to the Gypsy Moth...............:-(


Damn shame, Juan. Take several deep breaths, then squeeeeeze the trigger. Don't jerk it.

Use Wolfs' recipes.

How do you like the couch?? Comfy??

I assume you mean Tiger Moth....;-)

No couch yet but shoulders are definitely in a lower temperature range.

:cool:goddam, us Ontario lads knows our deers eh.

You have to see the Vancouver Island deer to believe them. Some of the deer are very small. A few weeks back I saw an eight point buck that was not as tall as a Labrador retriever. You sometimes see a spotted fawn that is bigger than an unspotted deer in the same group. I'm told there is a lot of inbreeding and that this causes the size and weird colour variations. Most of the deer are the usual reddish tan colour but some are almost white and some are very dark grey.

If you want to keep deer away order some dried coyote pee. Keeps deer and racoons far far away.

My wife suggested that I go out and pee my own marker around our property.......Might take me a few days....;-)... Maybe if I collected the pee in a spray bottle it might last a bit longer.. I'll let you know..

If they aren't afraid of stinky humans now why would peeing around yard help?

Predators that tear flesh they fear, you and your flowers they obviously don't.

Mulie or white tail? Damn mulies are dumb as stumps and are about as tasty.

Go to the barbershop and collect up some hair. Work it into the soil. Human hair retains human scent. If Bambi is timid, Bambi won't hang around (or will if you happen to have a .303 around)

I do have a 30 06 but my house is in Nanaimo. If I shot a deer I would be arrested. Maybe I can make a silencer for the rifle....What would you suggest?

Seems an autolatching mechanism would be a wise investment. I intend to put one on my back gate... the kids are constantly leaving the back yard open.
Bungee cord and a nail.
Of course, you could go all out and get razor wire, security lights, sirens, and a robot. :D
You might try putting a few bounce sheets out. A neighvbor does that with some success. Or bars of soap here and there.

All I really need, is to just to close the friggin gate....I bought a pair of spring hinges for the gate and that should keep it closed. I made the gate four feet wide to make it easy to get a wheelbarrow through. I thought briefly about putting in a hook and eye to hold the gate open but that is another trap waiting......;-)

WOW! Rich fellow, huh? Spring hinges even. lol We always have bungees around. Nails, too. I think a pack of 6 bungees is like $7 and nails are parts of cents each. But who's cheap? lol

Hey I'm not rich but we did just doll out over seventy five hundred dollars for 300 feet of new cedar fencing. The least I could do is spring for a couple ten dollar spring hinges.
