Is that your version of "marking" your territory?

That is exactly where the idea came from.

A buddy of mine who has hunted a lot more deer than me was talking to
me about how dumb some guys are because they urinate near their tree
stand and how the scent keeps deer away.

I figured I'd try it out on the garden and it seemed to work pretty
good.


Seemed to work on the groundhogs, too. They had been eating the
flowers off the pumpkin plants as soon as they would appear. Once
'the treatments' started - no more problems.


This Tom Watson guy is a real man! He can communicate in the most basic,
biological way possible. **** is a powerful signal to animals. My dog
certainly thinks so.

I just would have never thought of doing it on this kind of scale. I can
think of some times on the farm where this little nugget would have served
us well. Interesting.
