A local park with a machete' in hand could have save him lots of money.......LOL!
My old farm was across from a private lake owned by the DNR and when the Canada Geese were on the move, it was almost as easy as swatting them down with a broom! They never bothered my gardens, though.
One day my hunting buddies took all of my decoys from the pole barn and placed them all over my garden so I would drive up to THAT when I came home from work. Smart@sses!
I almost always had Mallard decoys floating in my rain barrels, too. ;)
Good times. :)
