I haven't got around to getting a FOID card (card required in Illinois to own or purchase a firearm or ammo) yet so pot shots are not an option.


Another up to 6 inches of fluffy white rain in the forecast so aerator back on. You guys are not much help on cormorant control. Best suggestion I have had so far was a PM from Pat W and it involves sitting in a lawn chair by the pond and playing "Turkey in the Straw" by blowing into an empty Falstaff bottle! grin
