Question:
I live in a semi-rural location in western Nebraska. Some local
inconsiderate hunters have erected a duck/goose hunting blind within
about 500' of my home (only 25' from my property line), despite the
fact that the owner has hundreds of acres elsewhere to do so.
Unfortunately Nebraska law is pretty primitive in this regard and
offers little legal help, so I am in the position of coming up with my
own "self-help." I am therefore at looking at (legal and ethical)
ideas which might help discourage hunting from this blind (either by
irritating the hunted or the hunters). At this point I'm leaning
towards a strobe light and boom box on a timer, the latter of which
would play the most hunter-irritating book on tape (or whatever) I can
find. 'Nearby neighbors aren't an issue as far as noise here (at
least no more than is created with their shotguns).
Answer:
You need to find a legal activity that will scare waterfowl
away and annoy hunters. Power saws are good at that kind of thing;
you could take up carpentry. You could also buy a cord of wood and
split it - slowy, and into very small pieces. You could also become
a sculptor of granite blocks.
