Usually, but had to resort to the .22 twice.Usually a Daisy BB gun is enough to deter wandering dogs on my property.

I've got various cousins that focus on different types of Ag. The pig farmer's place was always the worst smell.I like the idea of the OP raising pigs as close to their side of the property line as possible. Maybe the next 10 years straight of that will give the neighbors a "fresh" perspective.
I raised two every summer for about 6 years. They were always up in my back field, but there were days when they were pretty rank. Then there was the time I brought a bucket of the previous year’s manure and dumped it on the flower garden next to my driveway… talk about stink! I wasn’t long dumping some lime on it!I've got various cousins that focus on different types of Ag. The pig farmer's place was always the worst smell.
The only way I would use lethal means to deter an animal is if I felt unsafe. I hope I don't have to go down that road.Usually, but had to resort to the .22 twice.
The question would be if that applies because the Right to farm act specifically discusses commercial farming in the definition of a farm, I'm not sure if that's supposed to be referencing the "other appurtenances" needed for a farm, or if it's supposed to limit it to commercial farms only (if it is supposed to limit it, that's probably what the judge is referencing, that would be something worth bringing up with the State Department of agriculture so they can provide their opinion because the one that you linked would seem to indicate that commercial farming is not required to be protected under the Right To Farm law)This is in Michigan, correct? This link explains about Michigan law regarding this and there's really no way the plaintiff(s) could prevail.View attachment 814842
MIce, groundhogs and coons need to be controlled around here. No armadillos around here, I guess no mice in TX.The only way I would use lethal means to deter an animal is if I felt unsafe. I hope I don't have to go down that road.
I've had to dispose of an armadillo but that's about it so far.
