Possums are so scaryyy 
Their face is terrifying. Literally just a huge rat
Rats are so smart though… they’re scary but really harmless for the most part. Not a fan of wild rats but the domesticated ones are just tiny dogs. I like rats too i guess
Scrap metal baffles cost is 0 dollars . I’m not sure how effective they’re gonna be just started a couple of prototypes. I had over 100 sheets of metal 3‘ x 13‘ with nail holes given to me when I brought my property 15 years ago. Almost discarded them a couple of times now I think I found a use for it. I just overlapped the 3 foot sections a little drilled a couple of holes and used tie wire. So I can just keep adding 3 foot sections as the trees get larger I take them down after harvest.

So far, this is working
Getting rid of 7 coons and 1 possum in 3 nights within 100 yards of my orchard isnt hurting, either

Thanks very helpful I always considered it a prototype I have dealt with them in multiple situations and I always loose round one 
Think I will double the diameter and put rebar inside for stability . Currently 3 foot high might try 4 if doubling diameter does not work.
Yep not sure they are minature but they are small. At any farm store.
They are nice and mobile if need be. When I need more I have one a regular 12V unit and a deep cycle battery.
WhiteCliffs has a good sytem too. I already use my baskets so I thought I’d use them. Same principal.

Oh my goodness! That is one cool raccoon deterrent.
are they damaging your trees too or just stealing fruit?
yea frickin airsoft lead bullet doesn’t even work, the suckers have thick skulls
Just got me another 22 pistol. This one is double action and will shoot 22 magnums. It should do well, but we will see.
