“If I walk in the woods on my property, I often have my 5 prong pitchfork or machete in hand.”

Geez, didn’t think that undisciplined kids were that much of a menace. Usually you can scare them off just by mentioning work.
Ha!
Well, the kids in this rural wooded area seem mostly disciplined. There is one pitbull in the neighborhood that once in a while I see off his master’s property. He has seen me and my pitchfork a few times. I yell, “Go home”, pointing in that direction, and he leaves.
For not being secured he stays home pretty good, just barks a lot. Too many trees and at least 100 yards too far from my property border for my electronic bark control gadget to train him.
That thing worked good on another dog in the opposite direction. The mutt was left all day on a chain, barking seemingly half the time.
Within a week it learned not to bark much at all. The owners probably still wonder why fido almost entirely quit barking, after being a noise machine for a couple of years.
Haha boy that’s true. Just say hey go grab that yo-yo rake out of my little shop and whack those weeds back for me! And they’ll run like a scared deer.🦌
