17 shots and no hits? Time to hit the rifle range and sight that sucker in!
I believe that was 17 shots to deliberately scare rather than kill.
If so, then cormorants clearly don't mind a loud crack and a nearby splash.
I think a high-energy dog might be the best deterrent if you are not allowed any kill tags?
An 8 y.o. kid with a drone might also be a great deterrent if that is not some type of illegal harassment?
Absolutely correct Rod, I have a lifetime hunting and fishing license and no desire to lose it and get a big fine for a bird whose just trying to make a living.
I have a drone and use it at least 4 times a week to check cattle and film the pond but didn't think about using it for that purpose. Could save some ammo and not even have to leave the front yard.
Also have a Lab/Shepherd cross that would enjoy a swim and the chase. She is gun shy so no danger in ruining a good hunting dog.
EXCELLENT suggestions that fit my situation perfectly!!!
