Scarecrow rounds?

[Capt. Charlie]

Not really sure where to put this, but here goes. I wrangle horses on the side for a large (4200 acre) Christian youth & rider's camp. Several of the ponds on the ranch have been taken over by Canada Geese. It was a novelty at first, but they are fouling the water so bad that it's unusable for man nor beast. I had some luck some years ago with 12 ga "scarecrow rounds" made, I think, by Blammo Ammo. These rounds fired something akin to an M-80 firecracker with a bright flash, and they really did the trick. Darned if I can find them today though. I did a site search here for Blammo & found a few references, but no contact/sales info. They don't seem to have a web site. Anybody know where I can find these scarecrow rounds, by Blammo or anybody else? I heard Blammo's prices are a bit high anyhow. I'm not looking for high explosives here, just something that goes out about 50-75 yds and goes bang!

Get a depredation permit and talk to Fish & Game about tools

Although shortstopped, Canada Geese are migratory birds with complex interlinking regulation. Get a depredation permit and talk to Fish & Game about tools. Some past sources may include:
