Sledgehammer Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I think they have something similar at work for birds. The birds get used to it in time and it is just excess noise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only lasted 6 yrs in this region,including airports, Neighbors had to install 12' prison fence,and then quit as there were too many needing extrication. Normal to see 20+ deer at 3 pm in hay field and more on 5 mile trip to deliver Shrubbery looks like Bonsai ,and hasnt needed trimmed other than + 6' in 3 yrs, They trim the 5' from porch while ,begging in the kitchen window,now devoid of anything enticing .............Lets start on axle breaking hoggs,turkeys,coyotes,fox ,bear ooooh my. Very few rabbits.chips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandhiller Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Looks like the same thing, in principle anyway, they tried out here. Be careful how you set it up and monitor often. Been to more than one grass fire caused after they got tipped over and still went off. I have also heard after so long, the deer get used to them, resilient buggers that they are Depredation permit seems to be the best answer. A .22 is quiet and will do the job just fine. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for some 10 gage slugs for my auto mag but cant find any locally. Going to try a 12 gage. Somehow due to crop rotation I'm the only corn field for about a mile in all directions. Found a path through a neighbor's beans straight from the river where they come from , trail cam Shows 6 doe and one buck , they will walk right into me.
