For vintners / vineyards facing torn-up rows, loss of fruit or crop, broken fences, and wild pig incursions, I offer field-tested support built on practical experience outdoors. My services help protect vineyards by identifying wild pig travel routes, locating entry points, and implementing durable deterrent measures suited to rugged terrain. I can also provide fire safety advice and guidance based on 32 years in the fire industry (retired as Battalion Chief).

 

I assist with identifying access points and fence damage, monitoring herd movement, and helping reduce ongoing impacts to vines, irrigation, and property.

 

Services include:

 

• Field assessment of pig activity and property damage (with photos and GPS locations)

• Support geared toward long-term vineyard protection

Reliable, discreet, and experienced with agricultural properties. Services provided in exchange for authorized hunting access (always in compliance with California hunting laws and regulations).
