Each spot was dug up. little holes.
No prints, it had rained alot before I got there.
The pumpkins were left alone.
4 lbs of corn!
Presoaked and first roots when planted!!!!
5 paks of tatter slips!

My neighbor say perhaps skunk.
You name it,, and it might live in "my" deepwoods.
My patch runs along a healthy creek.

I see mole tunnels also,
but most of the corn shows top dirt digging.
Moles may have got my sweet tatters..
They just went poof!

Will a habenyero spray keep away the skunks/etc?
help,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Moles are carnivores...Voles and Field Mice are Herbivores.

Deer will eat them all the way to the ground,and if they get a hold of them seedlings right to take a bite they could be pulling root and all up.(just a guess on deer)

Four pounds of corn? That's a lot of corn for very small animals or birds, add to that the sweet potato disappearance and you get either skunks or raccoons.

Monty Elephants yep he sees no tracks because they use their trunks. I am telling you a Garden Elephant is very hard to get rid of. Joe Ailts had one here a few years back.
