They're making the hay rounds, looking for unguarded alfalfa.
Mine is well secured, but one of the kids found a tiny triangular spot where the tarps criss cross and was able to kneel down and get his head in.
As soon as they moved on I went out and unfolded the tarp and stood three pallets up against the stack then refolded and secured the tarp over them. I also leaned some pallets against the outside to further frustrate them.
I did such a thorough job I'm going to hate myself when it's time to pull a couple bales off the stack. It will probably be raining and blowing and dark when I do that, haha.
I have a little pickup bed trailer that I have been loading a few bales of alfalfa in so I don't have to unwrap the alfalfa end of the big stack . That's working well. I arched two re-wire panels over the hay and tarped it, securing the tarps with clamps. It looks like a little covered wagon. The moose aren't even a little interested in the other end of the stack which is easier to access, because it's grass, and barley bales.
I hear they are spending a lot of time at a neighbors stack which is easy to get in.
