In a last ditch attempt to save some grapes this year, I’ve installed a solar powered electric fence, bird netting and some owls.  If the birds and/or raccoons still take the muscadines, I don’t know what else to do.   The fence charger is a bit overkill, granted, but if a raccoon touches the fence I want them to feel it :-0. This one can protect the vineyard, orchard, garden and about another 23+ miles of fence!

Two strings of wire.  One at 5-6inches above ground and the other at 12inches.  I could put another at 18-20 if they are jumping over.  I put out a couple of deer infrared cameras as well with hopes I catch some of the action!

I also used some old conduit to keep the netting off the muscadines.

And the last attempt to keep the birds at bay.  3 owls placed in various locations.

Only time will tell if any of this works!
