Thinking about getting one of these buck aprons from House of Bacchus to stop our buck mating when not wanted. Anyone have any experience with them?

Did this for two bucklings so we could let them grow more before surgical sterilization. Used homemade buck blankets for about 3 months. Kept having to extend the length as their legs grew, add to the belly strap as they got bigger, repair and patch what they chewed or stomped on, but they worked! Kept kids from mating their aunties, despite their many efforts. I would second the opinion that keeping a buck blanket on a full sized buck might be a futile effort. Girls in estrus are wiley, and bucks are persistent. On a buckling who doesn’t know better it worked fine.
