Cecil I bought a couple of those plastic alligators that Zep had mentioned, and they've actually worked well. I stuck them in the shallow part of my brood pond where my BG spawn, and not a footprint or sign of any creature.
I just used decoy weights, and let them float in about a 20' radius, and even varmints are avoiding the area. Time will tell, but so far they've been great.
Fireshot that's good to know! I always wondered if those alligators would work? Thanks for that info and keep us posted on that ok.
