Prevent Winter Damage to Trees
Winter damage to trees from rabbits and mice can be reduced with simple steps. Use mica axle grease on trunks, keep a shotgun or rifle on hand, and install a rabbit proof fence five to six feet high. Use poison baits in accessible containers for mice and guard grain with a slotted entry box.
