Rabbits haven't been a problem , we see very few of them down here
in the woods . I have a piece of pipe that will slide over the posts
, some 5/16" round stock , and some bigger steel rounds for a cap .
That plus a shop full of tools and time on my hands ...


Year before the fence I took out 14 of them in a months time. They are
in full "production" the same time as all our flowers and veggies...

Been going to mention this... I have an old walking tractor that could
use some wheel weights. Kinda like your tractor could use some more
weight. I think you could take off a wheel, lay it on its side and
then make some weights from cement. You'd have to make a circular
form to contain the outside edge, lay some plastic on the rim so it
would release and of course some bolts into the rim to hold it in
place. Maybe some wire, reinforcement in the cement too. Just an idea
in case your haven't got anything else to do


That's a great idea ! Not that I lack things to do , but I can sure make
the time to do that . Did the bunnies taste good ?
I mde a siple pole pounder , works well enough . Next step is making some
wire tripods to go on top since the trees are (or will soon be) taller than
the 5' width of the rewire I used for cages . First one I used 28" of wire ,
the rest will get 36" . I knew that coil of heavy galv wire would come in
handy some day ...
