Isn't there some spray or something that you can spray around your house to repel them? I know there's one for pigeons.

Maybe rocketman can rig up a rudimentary guidance system for some cheap Estes model rockets!  A mini-SAM battery on my roof would be justified right?

You want to talk about stupid...

At one of the airports I fly out of...the idiots in the county decided to build a nature preserve swamp out right beside it. OK, the bird problem was bad after that.

Then the same geniuses decided to build a feeding ground. No, not where the birds would fly farther away from the airport. No no, they build it diagonally across the airport a couple of miles away.

So, the damn birds fly ACROSS the airport in massive flocks about twice a day to get to their feeding grounds in a straight line.

...wow. Really? You'd think that amount of negligence would actually be illegal.

The second question would be why build a goose feeding ground at all, anywhere?

It's not a goose feeding ground...it's just a general bird feeding ground (but I understand the geese pay visits, too).


And it gets better. The "solution" to the bird problem was to buy a $15,000 dog (and hire a handler) to chase them away from the airport.

My solution would involve a silenced 28ga shotgun and a nice heavy subsonic load of #7 lead.... ;)

I was like, what, they couldn't go to Wallyworld and buy a $200 Rem 870 Express?

I found out about this while talking to one of the controllers. She was basically doing a facepalm the whole time while going "And you know what, those f****** idiots did..."

Surely someone at the airport was a gunny (after all this is the South) and would have loved to take care of the bird problem...

Are we sure the guy responsible for the planning isn't an AQ infiltrator?

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Certainly an airbursting nosecone isn't too hard to develop....maybe even using something like dried corn or avacado seeds as a payload....to be environmentally conscious and all....  =D

shooooot,  I woulda sold them my mom's dog for alot less than that!   tiny little thing, but it loves to chase the geese away from the house.....on occasion they don't wanna be chased and they will flare up at the dog and chase it away.

We actually had to give the dog a collar that would make noise so that it cannot get the jump on the geese.

I wouldn't want to get caught in my state.....

The WDNR has rediculous and completely unchecked powers in my state.
If they caught you shooting geese out of season on some backroad, they can confiscate just about everything you have besides the clothes you are wearing (this includes your vehicle and firearms) as being tools 'used for poaching.'

I wouldn't want to test their powers by being caught shooting geese off my back porch. =(

Again...  not a serious question.

However..  last night I was trying to come up with just how many crimes could be commited by doing this at my house.

1.  Poaching
2.  Discharge of a firearm in the city limits
3.  hunting within 500' of an occupied structure.
4.  reckless endangerment by firing over my neighbors houses
5.  I'm in the landing pattern for the airport, I'm sure something would come out of that
6.  I would be shooting toward a school that is across the road which would surely result in some type of charge

IMO...

A "HIGH VOLTAGE electrical accident" may be more convenient.



You might need to go to 440v for a goose though. And you might want to bridge the breaker and get a big knife switch too.
