Voting Booth: How do you deal with wildlife in your garden?, 1 by bonehead

I'm on acreage in the country, but have not had any problems with wild animals eating anything in the yard. I think our back woodlot is providing enough healthy habitat that the deer don't venture across the open field to the yard. The only squirrel I've seen is a dead one that the dog or cat dragged in. I see coyotes on a fairly often basis down by our pond, and they have become more bold this year but not a problem. I'm fairly certain we also have bear, but I've thankfully never seen one up close (two neighbors have though). We always have a large breed dog of some type, which perhaps helps discourage the wildlife.

The worse wildlife pest I have is the moles. My current dog hunts them with some success, and we continually trap for them, but they are relentless.
