My trees are just 15 feet away from the woods.
I keep the area clear but once it snows enough and it gets under 0 degrees they start coming.

oooof i feel your pain man, luckily they only claimed a few seedlings of mine this year .. this summer I'm building 2x2x8 jail cells out of hardware cloth and pressure treated 1x1. The cloth will wrap over the wood so they cant just chew thru. Gotta keep these fuckers out. I made some small ones last fall but was really only big enough to house a few trees. Must go bigger this year

I'd be so pissed off!
I was pissed the first time this happened. This time it's my fault thinking they couldnt get under my wall. That's the problem with walls they won't stop determined invader.
I'll get the vole thing wrangled around.

The poisoning has already begun.
The cages sound like a good idea.

funny how that works, I was devastated the first time they took out half my collection, year 2 I was almost as bummed, I literally expect it every year now. Helps soften the blow somehow
I thought I had it under control.
I thought wrong but yeah I've come to expect it.
