That's a great idea ! Not that I lack things to do , but I can

Wrong time of the year for eating. They have all sorts of parasite
trouble during the warm/summer months. Bummer but the old three "s"
solution. Shoot, shovel... Once it gets colder out the population
drops right off. All the predators, coyote, fox, GH Owl, feral
cats... see to it.

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 ...

A coil of galv wire is a very handy thing to have around

I've got a bunch of old wire coat hangers that I cut up and use pieces
to attach the cages to the t-posts. Usually work good for one season.
Posts get pulled up each year, cleaned off and then stashed till the
next.

I have a roll of tie wire , can't remember when or why I bought it but it
has sure been handy . These posts will stay in place until I'm sure the
trees are strong enough to withstand a bit of nibbling , might be 2 or 3
years .
