    Whistling ducks

    Anybody else having issues with them taking feeders over and running the deer off? They seem to be worse then pigs and you cant pin them out or shoot them. Any ideas on how to keep them off a feeder?

    Invasive species. Seems like America has that problem lately.

      Why can’t you shoot them?

        Was under the impression they could only be hunted in duck season and not over bait. Is that not the case?

          You would be correct.

            It may still be the case. I don’t know. I’m not a duck hunter. I do know they will swoop in an vacuum up corn in a hurry. The only way I know to stop them is to remove the food source for a while, or shoot them when the season opens

              Man I was hoping they were open season. We started the feeders and cams Saturday and they were stacking in Monday morning and haven’t missed a feeding yet.

                Dang. That’s not good. They can take over a feeder for sure.

                  I have several hundred almost year round at the dairy. They leave when it gets cold. Typically they hatch 2 broods a year on my property. This year due to dry ground I’ve seen 2 ducklings on a separate pond and none at the dairy only adults. They get out of hand quickly

                  I call them whistling chickens. They come in the barn all the time
