Poison, flares, rock walls around chicken wire fences and now cats.  Some 
dimwit down the road shot the pair of fox and the pair of coyotes that lived 
on the ridge at the east end of our upper 3 acres and the squirrel 
population increased 10 fold in this spring!

The cats have made a big dent.  Of course, the momma cat is Siamese and 
she's a terror!

I don't think you want these deer.  They figured out that there was a 2' 
space they could jump through between the gate and the arch over it.  We 
closed that up and then they went along the fence and stomped the lower 
section of wire down to the ground and crawled through.  then they 
discovered the only place we don't have 8' of fence and jumped through 
there.  DH says he's going to start making midnight jerky <g>
