Well, Well, Well...i've learned a lot about this thread so far...ppl don't mind if we poison racoons, but god forbid we hurt the squirrels...which i have to say would only be a preventive measure vs over-population. If someone can reply with a viable solution as to my dilemna - like i said, i'm not making this story up, it's an actual daily problem - I will take it under consideration.....while the jury is still out on the verdict, let me provide everyone with another anecdote.
This summer my buddies and I are playing golf on a beautiful summer afternoon. I should note that there is quite a bit of wildlife on this course. On different occassions dear and wolves (to give a couple examples) have been spotted by different golfers. Anyways...on the second hole i'm waiting for my buddy (who shanked his tee shot) to hit, while I stood ahead by a tree.
As we wait for the ppl ahead to move, i look back to notice a creature is jogging toward my buddy. Lo' and behold it's a coyote....(me yelling at my buddy) "hey whitey, whitey!"
"shutup i'm hitting,"...the jack#$& didn't even care that a somewhat dangerous creature strutted right past him....so now it's headed toward my direction, not sure what to do I back into a semi-defensive stance with my 4 iron in front of me. Closer, Closer, Closer he approaches until he's a few feet in front of me....then with a somewhat smug look, he takes my nicey hit tee shot into his mouth and runs off.
Iritated from mother nature's wrath that occurred a few holes earlier, I seek out revenge by betting my buddy a case of beer that he can't grab a Canada Goose and run with it for at least ten seconds. At this current hole, it's a short par three with a stream near the green. There's about 6 Canada Geese or so just shootin' the S%*^ with eachother - not caring about any of the golfers walking by.....
So my buddy creeps up on the closest one and scopes it into his arms. Now for those of you that haven't seen a can. goose up close, it is a very large bird that could definitely cause some damage. So as he has this thing wrapped around his arms, the whole time squaking and bitting his arms while the rest of them are nipping at his legs.
He's all 'argg, owww, you #$*^*$,"... meanwhile we're rolling around on the green laughing at this spectacle. The whole endeavor lasted maybe 5 seconds - the geese definitely kicked his #@% ...for the effort i bought a few rounds of beer later on that night.
