Pres: You better hope a migrating Mexican Chiwawa doesn't wander across the border and into your BOG Field. When the wind is right the aroma from bag of Chili is an open invitation. Mmmmmm muy bueno amigo "Dinner Time"

Before rolling out at the start of each low band season the reel is submerged for a week in a tub of diesel fuel mixed with a bag of chili powder. This procedure renders the wire is far less tasty to Arizona critters. In 15 years not a single "chew thru" has occured.
