In NY, you can get a 25 bird depredation permit from the department of environmental conservation, easily for a situation like that. The next step is a federal permit, beyond the 25 birds, you have to keep a record of any kills, and submit a report to DEC annually. They love oat grass, I have 25-45 in a flock that returns to a 20 acre pond here, they can and will do some serious crop damage. There is 30 acres of corn planted adjacent to the pond, large operator, I guess he just takes the loss of the bottom rows, which then just turn to weeds, which looks like another weed that attracts the attention of police aviation, like it did last year.

Being in close proximity to occupied buildings, you may have to get creative if using firearms. I get the permit to be covered, I've not killed a lot of them but harassed the heck out of them with some success, oats recover if I stay on them, but corn does not if the nip it low enough. Thing is we never had deer of any numbers, rare to see one or any canada geese here. Deer made a big come back, and it makes things real hard on some agriculture, but the geese are just as bad. I think DEC is fine with eliminating non native migratory birds, not sure what the feds say, never got that permit as of yet.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on ... [Read Article]
