Great suggestion on the chain link fence, Wish I'd thought about it when building the ponds...oh well.
As it stands, it's great target practice. From 175 yards, they don't usually even dive if you miss. Sound echoes all around and I think they get confused. I unconfuse them, and have yet to have one get away once I've ZOOMED in...
Once asked the local DNR agent for a "permit" to get rid of 'em. He just laughed and said I've already got all the permits I need...just pick the caliber of permit I prefer and take care of business. I really enjoy having an officer that understands flexibility...
