Neale,

That reminds me of the rabbits who used to sit still when my wife shot at
them...that was the safest place for them!! *GRIN*

I gotta stick with the electric fence. That's the simplest and most
effective way to protect an area...back in the mid 70's we used it around
about 50 acres of turkey pens to keep out coyotes (four-legged and human),
and also around a small garden to keep out the rabbits and groundhogs. A
battery fencer is pretty inexpensive, as are the fiberglass posts and fencer
wire. And with nonconductive posts you don't need insulators.  And cows
respect them as well.
