RESIDENT CANADA GOOSE NEST &EGG DEPREDATION
If you have problem Geese in your area & want to do something about it.
Here is the starting information, the legally correct way to do it.
Please share this info, Face book, Twitter, All your contacts and friends, and Forums. People are getting sick form Goose droppings in grassy areas. When lawn mowers throw it up in the air the operator breaths this dust in. If you are a Golf player you know the deal. In some areas there are so many Geese, they cause traffic problems. This web site works for most any state. It covers the lower 48 States and the District of Columbia.
And please don’t feed the wild life.

There are several ways to destroy the eggs. A personal recommendation is to affix a small, thin nail to a broom handle and simply approach the nest and poke one small hole in each egg. And allow them to sit for full term, other wise they will rebuild.
I do not recommend completely destroying the nest because the goose pair will only rebuild, possibly in another area where you are not authorized to destroy eggs.
Please take time to read through the information on the website, get informed and keep it legal and humane.
You must register each year prior to destroying nests/eggs. You may register anytime between January 1 and June 30 of the year in which your activity will take place.

Here is a interesting web site.
 
Here you will find: 9 Seasons / 9 Years of Americas Heartland shows.
Each Season has 20 or more Episodes.
Each Episode in broken up into 5 or more short Videos that are
4 - 5 minute in length.
 
There are hours and hours of farm related stories to watch.
Its very interesting and informative. The stories come from all
walks of life, and all corners of the country.
 
There’s something here for all ages.
 
You can watch for free on your I-phone, tablet, or lab top.
I do the lab top and stream it to my Flat screen TV.
 
On a rain day, or snowy cold day, its something different and new.
At any rate tune in and enjoy Americas Heartland.
 
And please don’t forget to share this info.

No milling or drilling on Carb body, not a perfect fit but works.
 

 

 

 

Need to repair some fences and such from a winter wind storm. Wasn't really looking forward to lifting the
concrete out of the ground so this is what resulted. One down 6 to go  
 
 

Just trying to get the ball rolling on here so here's some pics of a 2 seat custom tractor used to cruise around the engine shows. Made of spare Wheel Horse parts and uses a pull start Kohler M8 for power.
