You could take a proactive approach and let your property return to a
wild state.

You know, there's nothing quite like the non-boating advice found here
on wrecked.boats.

Actually, Whine, er, Wayne, we have done that with most of it. We're
down to about an acre of lawn. One of our fields is on its way back to
nature, and the other was leased long term by a local farmer who uses it
to grow feed and some veggies. We never touched the wooded areas.

We did that when we first bought our place - big mistake.

I now log the woods every three years and the fields are hay and corn.
Big difference in the health of the fields and woods.

I don't do anything with our woods but walk through them.

fine, happy and the visits became fewer.

After you stopped feeding her ?

Most of the cops I see at the range are really *lousy* shots, no matter
what they are shooting.


True story from the county just north of mine. The deputies used to
have a compeition. Five bowling pins, 7 yards timed fire, shoot until
they are all down. Some deputies had to reload their double stack
Sigs!
The winner was always an old sargent who took his time and shot down
one per round, with a 2" revolver.

Shot ducks with a police weapons officer for one of the SF Bay area
departments. He said the average for police shootouts is 9 shots at 10'.
And no one is hit. Hard to aim while diving for cover.

I have said for years that the reason is due to 13 round semi-auto
hand guns.

With a revolver, you only have six - makes you concentrate.

LOL, I noticed your Chow mix breed dog. We have a Chow Mix and also
named HER Rocky (after Rocky Marciano). As a puppy I not only thought
she looked like RM, with his big nose, but when she was play fighting
with my other dog, she would just bend her head down and slug it out
instead of using the "jab" method my other dog used. She was definitely
just a brawler, without any technique.

When we picked up the dog from the rescue agency, they had her listed as
a Keeshound, but I really think it is a chow/shepard mix.

Reads like an adjunct to those who jumped into using "digital" cameras
without ever learning to use a film camera...take 500 photos on an SD
chip and of those you might get three good photos. The old sarge
probably learned to take photos on a 4x5 view camera!

Seven yards is the typical distance for "defensive" shooters with a
handgun. If you can't hit a target 21 feet away, you need a new
hobby...or profession.
