Crop control
I am up late...sleep after hunt doing early morning crop control on some sheep 3 females one male. They escaped from across the way but decided the farm here has better fare. We have about 220 acres of green beans that they the deer and groundhogs are enjoying. Owner's don't want them back anymore and have been on the property since 12/31/16..Starting with the buck around 5 this am est hopefully the females aren't pregnant. So what to do kill them anyway? I put up with the deer and kill the groundhogs..Not sure what we will do if we confirm we have one or all three pregnant. Skittish as heck can't get within couple hundred feet of them damn near act like the deer when they are in the field.

If they eat your crop and nobody wants them, you're going to have to put them down. Maybe someone wants to trap them and take them? I hate to kill an animal for no reason but if they hurt your pocket it's an easy choice.

Update on the goats/sheep
None of us have seen them again. So freaking funny I don't really understand. Deer and some ground hogs are still alive and well and the one farmer we thought they belonged to said his were all accounted for. I do live in Delaware still but I married into a large farming family in the area and have 500 acres attached to our 2.4 acres to roam around as does the wildlife. We actually have wetlands crop and plain old woodland in this part of the state.
The farm actually started harvesting green beans soon after the green light was given to kill all. With that and the area around here and surrounding farms maybe they moved onto the maize across the way or turnips down the other way. Perhaps we shall see them in the next couple of weeks archery starts here in couple of weeks. Last edited by twin50; 08-18-2017 at 04:15 PM. Reason: added text |

A couple guys came over from NJ to ride back in the swamp part years ago I was standing in the red plaid. I met them on a 6x6 forum wanted to try an argo before I bought one.
