Who's eating my targets?

[Thumper Dunker]

Blew the pictures up. Its not rodent tooth marks and a wood pecker would leave the shavings laying around. I'm thinking a bug or maybe even snails or slugs. ?  Mine was eaten up buy my boarder collie x ausie mix. Looks like they went for the dark areas.

Mix up some cayenne pepper & garlic in a spray bottle with water and leave it out in the sun a couple days before spraying it.... besides your target smelling like a Pizza, no critters will touch it...... works good for aphids on roses, and tomatoes too....

Actually, that sounds like a good plan.  Couldn't hurt, anyway.  Can't use any rat poison in the backyard because my border collie would probably eat it.  If she eats the cayenne and garlic, well that's her problem.

I've  actually had grasshoppers do a number on mine before. The spray trick might work for that too. Good luck!!
