Update on the nocturnal nibblers

I decided to put in a fence.

As the dry weather continues the antelope get more desperate, and overcome whatever counter-measures I put in place.

I phoned KZN Wildlife who suggested a cull. I am not that desperate yet.

I cut my own gum poles off the farm and am using shadecloth lacing instead of wire. The fence will be filled in using lots of scrap plastic bags to present a solid appearance. Fortunately there is no fire hazard here and these materials are vastly cheaper than conventional fencing. We'll see if it works.

I went out to the fields at midnight tonight to see four Nyala bulls and three Reedbuck on the beds. They did get diverted by the small section of completed fence so there is hope yet.
