HATE is a bad thing .....

It is something that will eat you up .
it is said that it should never happen .
LOVE keeps us all on track .......
but darnit I can't help myself .
probably need counseling .
KUZ I HATE TO SEE these birds
nothing more than a greedy coyote with wings
not only do I hate to see em
I hate what they do to our crappie .
I wish this crew was headed farther north
but alas I know where they were going
just heard last week the crappie were on fire over there
and they were making a bee line in that direction
and they hit that lake like a plague every year :banghead
rant over ,,,,carry on ....:Rofl

Me to. They are also filthy beasts on park walkways and green fields of grass. I wish they would keep heading towards the Chesapeake.

PS Nothing as nice as watching them land on a postage stamp pond though!

Aye Aye sir. Carrying on! I have about 500 of them in my back yard daily now. :mad::mad::mad:

I bang the deck with a 2x4 and they fly in the trees only to fly right back into other yards!:mad::mad:

Learning curve for me, way way back in the early 70s we were hunting rabbits on the gulf beach with beagles and occasionally could get a flock of geese come into shotgun range from the sound of the pack driving a rabbit. Well this day we had this one single bird fly over me not knowing it was a comorant I shot and killed it, you know a cajun will try to eat anything. Later that day back at the camp cleaning rabbits is when I got my schooling, you can't pull the feathers out of them birds even standing on his neck using a pair of channel locks. The good ole days.

A feller on the water last week asked me last week "Do you know why these crappie are all wounded?" Yes sir i do. Look behind you. A quarter mile behind him sat 300-400 comorants. I said those are the culprits.

They are fish eating machines . They can eat pretty big fish . I see Crappie with wounds when they appear in large flocks on our lakes .

These things are only protected by the migratory agreement between us and Canada. A person can apply for an exemption with the wildlife fish & game of their state and be allowed to hunt them. These birds are considered an invasive species with almost no natural threat. I would imagine an exemption would be pretty easy to get.

I'm going to call our Alabama group today.

On another note: We have a ramp that is just below Wilson dam on the Tennessee. This ramp gets infested at times with turkey buzzards. These things can pick a vehicle clean of its rubber seals in an hour. Occasionally they close that ramp for a couple of days and when they open it the buzzards are miraculously gone.
