I'm with Esshup. Shooting is not only a temporary solution, it would be a crime to shoot such a regal beautiful bird figuratively and literally that is only doing what it evolved to do.
Shooting one of these federally protected birds would be akin to shooting a bald eagle which carries a fine of at least 5 grand and possibly some jail or prison time.
Not sure if lines from tree to tree is necessary. How about just a few stakes in the ground and from stake to stake?
Come on people we are smarter than these animals; our brains are much bigger. We can come up with nonlethal solutions that are better than a quick fix temporary solution that kills the animal and can put us in some serious hot water.
I'm disappointed that people on this public forum would give advice such as SSS. It's doesn't make us look very good as wise stewards of our natural resources. It makes us look downright selfish.
