Yeah and they’ll give you a list of how to harass them. Ballon’s visual predictors decoy. Using chase dogs blah blah. Only if farmer is loosing tomatoes or pepper crop to them will they let you shoot
Good luck

This is exactly why I said that the MNR will not know.

The permit I have here, a few years old, states that I can keep the meat from the geese that I shoot on that permit, on those listed properties.

Loss or winter wheat, destruction of hay crops, eating corn seed, lots of reason why you can kill them.

Yes, I said kill them, with a permit.

This guy has a permit to kill them. It's a corn field. He's lost a couple of acres of corn just from one flock that passes by which is about $3000 in losses, if I remember correctly what he said.

Thanks! That makes me more hopeful. I want to help him out but at the same time I'm hesitant shooting a good eating animal if I cannot use the meat. I'm going to double check with wildlife service though.

Agreed! I was an agent for a local airport, to get rid of deer that frequented the property. That permit said the deer had to be used, and not wasted.

Could always make it easy on you. Periodically pass by fire off some shots to scare the birds off that should make the farmer happy come the early season/fall hammer them as would be able to decoy them.

Only issue is he lives a solid 1.5hr drive from me. With gas prices if I'm not staying a couple days then it's not worth it. However his house is literally next door to a crown land parcel and he has an alfalfa field out back. I really got insanely lucky with this property owner lol.

Elgin county ?
