Turn on the sprinklers?

Send a dog out after them?

We all have different ponds and different occupancy times at our ponds, so some "generalized" advice would be good for the forum. I have absolutely zero idea where the line in the sand is regarding discouragement versus federal crime.

That is a very good question, I know that on a state level a person is allowed to protect his property from damage by nuisance wildlife, to what extent is a person legally allowed to do that on a federal level. I personally wouldn't have a clue as to what the legal line in the sand is. isnt a person allowed to protect his property? now I realize an endangered species would be a whole new level of offense.
Like DD1, said, proceed with caution and confidentiality.


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
