I also live in the city but commute to my "home away from home" on weekends.

I also live by a creek. No shortage of coyotes, rabbits, coons, tree rats (squirrels), feral hogs, skunks, possums, armadillos, snakes, etc.

A friend of mine rented a pasture for grazing cattle. Using nooses, he eliminated over 100 coyotes and dogs in the first year.

I would think that 6 inch electric fences would be a deterrant. However, they are getting to Tim.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
