Thanks for the advice?
I've got 2-great dogs and I would never consider leaving them out 24/7 to
protect my trees. Seems to be night-time is the right-time. Besides, it is
legal to shoot a dog in these parts if they're chasing deer. Go figure.
Thing I'll stay on this side of the law and use a wire tube. Little more
work but a little safer, all around.

A good dog works great without any tubes.
