Hi all,
So we have been busy building our new sugarbush expansion down here in south central VT. It’s been going great. Very little snow and good traveling. We should have 800-1000 new additional taps and another 2000+ next year to add. All on high vac.
So here’s the question. Last week I unloaded the atv and started up the woods road to come across a big moose track. I thought oh s#!+. I kept driving up the hill to find it standing there just looking at me. After our stare down. It decided to move on in a total different direction, I thought ok. I have been working up here for over a month now and haven’t seen any real wild life it was probably just passing through. Nope 3 hrs later. Here it comes back. Walked right past the atv and down the woods road towards the bottom. So again this morning I head up in to find its tracks and where it had bedded for the night last night, Then got up and took off as I was coming up the road.
My fear is all the damage he can do to our new lines. And this close to the season I’m wondering if there some trick other people are using to keep them out?
