so i found the predator that was responsible for killing my duck i got them on trail cam stay tuned
do
welcome back to pine meadows hobby farm i'm your host jerry hanson i have some fences
to mend i have a breach in my fence as you'll see a little bit later on the uh footage from
my trail cam that you see evidence of where the predator took the duck so this is where i know it
was getting through so once i located the spot i set my trail cam out to find out exactly what am
i dealing with and how is it getting through well here's the footage from the trail cam
do
now the trail cameras for those of you don't know are these are the cc better brand trail
cams i got two trail cams they were gifted from the production outfit raw tv out of london england
when they were here filming a couple of episodes uh for our reality show that's airing all over
the world on animal planet and discovery channel anyway these were a gift and i found some i wonder
well one is malfunctioning so i do want to replace them and i'll leave a link right here that you can
go on amazon and buy the cameras that are like this these cameras are awesome i even captured
cougar family and a bear family and all other kinds of wildlife with this
but i'm dealing with a skunk that eats eggs no wonder why i can't find any eggs laying around
and then i'm dealing with yes that fox got in and took a duck so i need to repair this fence
i i'm just going to fortify this a weak area with a short roll of uh
chicken wire and that should take care of the gaps at least along the bottom
strip this out okay chicken wire and zip ties is what i'm working with
yeah just like bailing wire duct cake is a farmer's friend so is a zip ties
well i hope that will suffice just to make sure i'm going to go ahead and reactivate
the trail camera turn it on and we're going to see if we can capture any images here tonight
of things attempting to get through that don't successfully get through like that fox did earlier
well that's my uh temporary solution for dealing with predators so that i don't have to kill them
i just like block them from getting in my whole their whole perimeter of my property is fenced in
and so it prevents dogs and other big creatures from getting in but as you can see that fox found
a nice good sized hole to breach through the property which is right down there
my bad i should have paid attention to that and i thought that fox
are a little bit skinnier than uh coyotes and then there's the bobcat and cougar i'm not
gonna keep those out those things will jump the fence but i did the best i can i'll reveal the
i'll review this trail cam images tomorrow and give you guys an update
