Lay on your porch and you'll be pretty invisible. A pond in Illinois that is about the size of your front pond had 5 of them visiting daily. Not good for that pond!
I have set up a blind in the spare bedroom for when I had issues with herons on the trout pond and I had a permit to take them out. Officially that is not legal even with a permit. Trouble was I had to leave the window open a crack without a screen as opening it when the bird was around would make them fly off. The wife wondered why there was an increase in flies in the house.
Shooting toward the highway is a pretty scary proposition and something I won't do. As soon as you think you have a shot a semi suddenly appears. Can you imagine what trouble I would be in if i even looked like I was aiming at a vehicle on the highway, let alone a bullet hitting one?
