Mango and watermelon
I got lucky. Two days before he showed up I moved a piece of wood covering an area of my shed allowing him access to the underneath. He moved in and gave me opportunity to put two traps right outside his hole. He really loved my sunflowers. I’ve got an explosion of sunflower seedlings from composting the flowers. They’re growing all over my veggie garden so I’ve been transplanting them along my drip lines.
Waternelon and cantaloupes do not work for me. May try ripe mangoes.
One of our tame rabbits got loose and it’s amazing how much damage one little rabbit can do. The dog finally caught him yesterday, rest in piece in the stew pot, young bugs.
Another garden eater bites the dust… Home made snare is definitely effective. 2nd rabbit from this spot this summer. Also missed one due to failed wire. Switched over to 7x7 cable with locking device and there is no more escaping!
Ground hogs are much worse than rabbits. Ground hogs will climb fences and dig under them and the damage they do is much quicker. My experience has been that rabbits are much less persistent… they’ll go for whatever is easiest.
I haven’t caught a one all year
A very young doe dropped 5 babies last evening, on top of the mulch in the rose garden. Must have been her first birth. No hole , no camoflage, to hide the new babies. All were gone by morning.
