hey all its been a while... just been busy as hell defending my crop from some punk thieves. you may recall the issues i have had with theives in past years, as discussed in a previous thread. if not, heres a briefing; past couple years have had major problems with sticky fingers. my backyard was not fenced in, for i back up to a river, and im located in a wooded area in the mountains. nothing to worry about i thought until they hit the garden two years in a row. this year decided to add a few aspects to my yard/garden that might influence the crooks to think twice. (dumb asses could think thirty times and it wouldnt of mattered! lmao) so, i put up an electric fence surrounding the backyard, and got two fairly aggressive dogs, who live within that fence. now inside the electric fence is another chain link fenced area which is home to most of the garden. so you got the electric fence, then dogs, then another fence, then greenary. i had to bring both dogs to the vet the other day and within an hour, i was back. i found some of the plants were topped, while others were missing massive stems loaded with lil premo buds. i was f'in pissed. they left foot prints clear in the thick dust all over the yard. i followed the prints to a spot in the fence where they must have used an apple tree to get over it. i followed the tracks (i hunt too) down a trail which came out 6 or so houses down from me. a lady there informed me that she saw two kids on bikes recently and one had a backpack on. i went back home where i was plotting in how to catch em if they were to return. two days later which was about tuesday, the dogs were going nuts barking. i slid outback and from behind some big trees ;] i stood watching two kids strolling down the trail next door. they kept turning, scoping out the greens, as they walked. it was so obvious to me at that time i had the ones. my blood began to boil again as i was thinking about the C99xsweettooth branches they took. the branches i had just pollinated in order to restock my seed bank happend to be amoung the ones taken, and i remembered the fact that i have zero c99xST seeds for next year. so i strolled down the trail after em, only to be greeted face to face with em both as they came back this way down the trail. basically i told em some stuff was missing outa my yard, and i would kill anyone who is cought on the property, all with a crazy eye contact, and much addreniline. the bad *** theives, who looked to be maybe twenty years old, almost shyt themselves as they scurried down the street. i hope they got my point but you never know. atleast the dogs wont be seeing a doctor again till columbus day... atleast ;] looks like they couldnt reach the top of those.. 15+ foot monsters.. lmao.
