THEY HAVE GONE TOO FAR……..

I can accept them laughing at me in the woods, after all that is common ground.

BUT….

We awoke this morning to find that they had eaten the buds from the top of our sunflowers.

That is an invasion of our personal property!!!

I’m calling the police!!!

I feel violated.

Next thing you know they will sneak into the house and steal arrows.

Or some buck will make a pass at my granddaughter.

I never ate any of their flowers!!!

I feel your pain Grumpy. Some nights they wake me up frolicking outside the bedroom window….of course that’s after they knocked over the fence and helped themselves to the garden. So now, I go to the local farm stand for fresh vegetables and fruit. Steve

You won’t find me complaining. They’re keeping my shooting lanes open on the range out back so I can focus on getting ready for moose season. Hmmmm ….

I say full scale retaliatory strike! But let’s wait until fall so they think we’ve forgotten about them!:wink:

Consider it marinade, of sorts, it will only make them taste that little bit sweeter.

Ahh, just think of the life we’d have if all the deer were gone and we had nothing to do but plant sunflowers… 🙄

I know this is a little late but I feel your pain Grumps. The squirrels have eaten at least a bushel of tomatoes off my vines. I won’t kill them while they are raising young but come fall I’m having tomatoes one way or another.

Duncan,

Long time no hear! Good to see your still kicking around. I, like you, am happy to pick my vegetables when they are on the vine, or in the fur. Either way works 😀

We quit planting corn in the garden ’cause o the coons. Just when it was getting ready to pick, they’d have a party and we’d get none of it. Them midnight bandits are hard to beat.

When I was a little tot things were a bit different then than now (coons were bigger then it seemed):D. I remember going with my dad for him to get a hair cut. I may have been 3 yrs old???

Anyway, someone had a racoon on a chain (nowadays they’d be in big trouble for animal cruelty I’m sure) and I remember that it was going back and forth, back and forth over that chain. I also recall my dad saying, “Ralph don’t go near that coon, it’ll bite”. Sure enough the &*%#$#@*&^ did..

The lesson on not minding what being told by an elder (especially a father elder) made an impact on a young mind also, kinda.

Maybe if I’d had an ear of corn………:wink:

“Musky’s in the corn patch again Deputy Dawg! Deputy Dawg! Whatcha gonna do?” This coming from Rocky Raccoon, most likely the real corn eating culprit. Keeping this Trad, you will need a broad head for Rocky or Musky.

Another slap in the face….

Used mt garden pruners to make a path thru a briar patch from one hay field to another (half mile around) came back a few days later to use the path, and found deer poop at the entrance to the trail. I’m thinking they did that as soon as I left… Grrrrrrrr

Maybe a good place for a ground blind.. I guess it’s OK to shoot’em when they’re poopin’. 😕 😉

Ethics police may squawk, dunno. 🙄
