Crop Protection

[Scythe13]

This is a very odd view point, but still well worth noting.

When you plant out new seeds, the birds will try and get an easy meal.

Now it's time to turn the tables.

Firstly, you'll want to scare off the critters, whether mice or bird, so a scarecrow might be a good place to start there. However, there is always the option of trapping, as a way to capture small game or birds.

Okay, there is also the air rifle option, but that is a bit time consuming really.

The main thing is to protect the seeds in their early stages. If you want, you can couple this with a small meaty meal, captured a la snare or similar.

Just a quick thought about how to turn a bad situation (pests ruining your crops) into a positive...easy meat and trapping practice!
