Controlling the Noise During Sukkot (Jewish Holidays)

Sukkot is a week long holiday in which families live in tents. Well, it is 10pm here and they were busy making a lot of noise chattering, singing, and I need to get up early. My wife took me to the patio to look at the full moon and I got an idea! Yes, this is where trouble usually happens.

My wife looked in shock as I breathed in to my full lung capacity, cupped my mouth, and HOWLED as loud as I could at the moon and then into each of the four directions.

The result, silence...

Awaiting police reports of a werewolf!

Yeah he's fat! I suspect many kitties are MIA around there.

Could be but I also noticed a drop in fawns accompanying the deer. for some idiotic reason, I am NOT allowed to discharge a weapon on my property to hunt them. They have eaten so much in the gardens here and I have a hankering for some venison! Wait, maybe I AM a werewolf?

Lol, that must a been hilarious🤣😂😅🤪 Outstanding! Up here we've got the Grey Wolves, courtesy of the folks in Olympia. Coyotes thinned out considerably upon the GW intro, but now are on the comeback, meaning ranchers don't ask questions, they just apply the three "S" rule. The old saying, "I don't have a backhoe, but my neighbor does."😉

Funny you mention the wolf part now as our ponies have been getting agitated the last few mornings, dogs too.

P.S. That's a brave yote, and a dead one, if he was up this way, without a doubt.

That was the case a few years ago but I think EVERYONE learned their lesson after the rare deer sightings became herds jumping over garden fences and eating everything in reach. They even ate my hot peppers, and when I say they are hot peppers, I mean HOT 🔥🌶️:devil: peppers like Ghost, Carolina Reaper, and so on! I hope those deer's' rectums were on FULL AFTERBURNER!
 
I have a 2-foot section of 1-inch aqua-pex that I blow through to make an unearthly. loud sound.
Our new neighbor said her heard an animal call he wasn't familiar with one night.
Making my most thoughtful face, I sagely advised him "It was probably a Bearcat or a Buzzhog. When you hear that, best stay indoors." :lol:

A momma cat and two kitten terrorists have been about our place of late. I filled a water dish, but we haven't fed them.
The little gray-stripy terrorist is named Earl. Coyotes will probably get them one of these nights.

Bow hunting Saúl. You might have to track it down, but it would be quiet.
 
Came home from a vacation/road trip a couple years ago to a deer carcass in the back yard. Cougar had itself a feast. I know at least 1 has been sighted with occasional frequency around Whatcom Falls Park, about a mile from here. And reportedly a den up at Lost Lake, just south of town.
 
As you can imagine we've had an influx of quite a few elk, deer, and every other critter since that 40k acre fire was burning less than 10 miles away. In the small canyon just below the Ranchito we still hear the elk bugle quite often, so that most definitely will attract the nefarious predators into the fray.

As for the deer, we keep track of them and the little ones every year. They eat our hay in the winter, no big deal, and the wife feeds the turkeys, even names them,😒 and the bloomin skunk named Pinelopi, as my 78yr old neighbor calls her, comes by to stink the place up nicely. I can deal with all the others, but that bloody skunk must be eradicated, sorry Jo, lol.
