We have a barn cat and a 25 pound Manx that keeps rabbits at bay around the
farmstead. The only areas I have noticed much pressure is in an acre field
several hundred yards from the house. The neighbors dogs may have some
effect on them at times though.

I can't get a clear shot due to the forage height this time of year and we
don't see many little cotton tails later in the year.

Just plant a little more and let the wildlife have their share. We find
they only invade most of our plants at the end of the row where they can
find quick cover from the raptors.

Thanks Rick! The only thing is, is that they are feasting on my flowers
that I spend way too much money on! They have 7 other acres to feast on!
If they even think about the garden, they will have another thing
coming! I will use them for target practice for sure!! I have decided
to let them just eat where they are eating anyway now because the poison
ivy has spread so much in that area that I am not walking over there to
keep things at bay! Terrible year for that and can't afford to spray
such a huge area. Hope they enjoy because it will be the last year that
they will have to gorge themselves over there! The cats are on their
way!!!
