I used to shoot trap also. Still have my Browning BT-99. My husband has the Browning Citori over and under for shooting doubles., Expensive hobby but a lot of fun.

I like a 12 gauge shotgun with bird-shot Makes it near impossible to miss the target!

I agree with BigSky moving your light source closer is what I would do!

I have use the peppermint on cotton balls idea under my motorcycle seat and inside the plastic bag I use to cover the wood splitter motor for years! I never occurred to me that it would work in large open spaces.

In other words +16F and sunny It will be toasty in the High tunnel so this morning I will get a few beds prepped and ready to plant . This afternoon when it warms up into the mid 30's it will be perfect for felling and bucking up trees for 2020 - 2021 firewood.

Poor kitty! She is beautiful. That is why I don't use those sticky traps. They do not kill the victim, they just torture them. Snap traps are a quick death.

I am so sorry to hear of the huge loss of your seedlings. Were they in the ground or still in flats? By the time I got all my snap traps set our winter carrot crop in the low tunnel was almost completely wiped out by the little greedy bas**rds. For flats I like the idea of building covers from hardware cloth. Thanks BigSky
