    Hi from the Northern Rockies!

    Greetings!

    I live off-grid on 8 acres in the mountains with my husband Tom, a couple of big coyote-chasing dogs, 7 cats, a flock of wild turkeys that wander through every morning, a large moose & calf that should be coming back through soon, a nice white-tail doe that recently stripped the leaves off our newly planted apple trees & elderberry bushes, a small pack of coyotes that howl at us and each other a couple nights each week from different places in the mountains around us...oh yeah - there was a fair sized mountain lion that wandered up the drive last spring...but he's not around anymore, if you know what I mean, lol.

    Looking forward to interacting in the threads.
    I was told this was a place I could speak my mind.
    Fair warning.

    The apple trees-

    Yeah had the same problem when I had a place in the tip of the mitt. Deer love young apple trees so I hung bars of dove soap in onion bags to help discourage the deer. Human hair may also help and if you want to go full blown don't screw with my young apple trees take some Garden fence and make a protective barrier around each tree until its big enough to out grow the deer.

    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    Welcome from the 45th Parallel of Michigan, since you have a dog collect his hair and put it around the trees, that is what the fruit farmers around me recommended for my apple and cherry trees. And we like pics here.

    Welcome!

    It definitely looks like you have a good setup there!
    "Every person’s life is theirs by right. An individual’s life can and must belong only to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave. No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."



    COFFEE!
