    Cool Here ya go.

    Perimeter defense, good idea; Bear spray, check! So how about adding an "air-horn" for additional help? Also, if your child is old enough, train him to be able to use Bear spray also! (a cattle prod may or maynot work, haven't had the guts to field-test the idea.)

    Ken, Did I do that right?
    Yes, Karl. That's one way it could be done. Here's another: http://www.pyrocreations.com/inc/sdetail/11971

    Nice link Ken.

    I'll have to consider if that would be excessive for my garden. I especially like the caution on that link.
