In reply to the discussion: So I go out on this beautiful day to feed the critters and find a Mt. Lion killed 5 ewes [View all]albacore
(2,398 posts)I lost a couple of goats to a lion years back. I think the only thing that stopped him from killing more of the goats was the mean Hampshire sow I had. She wasn't afraid of ANYthing. Including me.
I started peeing around the perimeter of the place, and we didn't see the cat again.
My wife thought I was weird saving it, putting it in a garden sprayer, and spraying scent posts around the perimeter with it. Dunno if it works or not.
I live in town now, and a bear trashed our bird feeders. I did the pee routine, and found some battery-powered night motion-detector lights and put three of them around the area. Got the lights at the place named after the river in S. America.
Same place carries these Nite Guards, and I've heard some good reports.
