    You can add several dead mice and / or moles, buy some beaver tail oil, and add just a bit, if you fry fish add some of that used oil. Grind and mix into a pate form and let taint. You just made bait. Beware you will have no HOA, but D O G’s of the Wild kind as well as man’s best friend. That is just the start of the many visitors.

    What is even easier is to purchase 100% real Skunk oil. Yes hunters actually wear it. Still, no trespassing signs are a must an of course camera’s.

    Finally, what the hell were you thinking when buying into an HOA? Before you do anything…. If you are not sure ….be certain the HOA did disband. Many will and sometimes someone will attempt to convince othed it still exist for easy money. Do yourself a favor …. Get out ASAP!

      The world wasn’t ending 10 years ago when we moved here. Believe me, we are making every effort to ditch Texas Suburbia. Plans are in the works for raw land to hide on in the mountains somewhere. Thanks for the advice, though.

    Give a couple fillets and tell them to mind their business. If that doesn’t work go with what the woodsman said 😂

    lots of lime on them gets rid of the smell, and degrades it faster, bury it at least a few inches

    When I came to Florida, I asked the real estate agent if I could search for homes that were NOT HOA….. So I went looking. I found a home that matched all of what I wanted and there was an old tractor left out in the field next door. That was perfect for me. 🙂

    I didn’t use all the fish we cleaned two summers ago . . . but I’d take a catfish carcass, dig a 2-foot deep hole with a posthole digger, and put it in the bottom. Add some dirt, various fertilizers, more dirt, my tomato, and fill the hole. Never any smell – and the only thing I found last summer was a stray vertebra!
