Shooting a Woodpecker.

My father in law's neighbor shot at one with a 12 gauge while it was hammering on the eve of his house. The bird flew, he shot, missed the bird but not the eve
I shoot nuisance black birds (grackles) in the spring and fall just to keep them off the yard. My rule is "hide the bird". Get everything lined up with your shot gun and then just before you pull the trigger lift the shot gun so you can't see the bird.

Oh wow, smart idea!

Woodpeckers incessantly attacked the fascia boards at our gables. I suspect it's because they are sheltered by the roof overhang. We covered them with metal flashing. Occasionally I'll hear a tok-tok-tok but they don't damage the house any more.

My neighbor said:
"Woodpecker pecking on a knotty pine,
I see his pecker but he can't see mine".

Shoot on sight when possible. They destroy trees.

My team and I ate one once, roasted over open fire, 40-odd years ago during survival/capture and evade training. Can't say I'd recommend it. But we hadn't eaten anything for 3 days, and "managed" it.

Every spring I get a visit from the guy I call the high steel rivetter. He pounds out his love messages on my TV tower. The annoying thing is he starts like 3:30- 4am.
I wait for him every spring.
Tolerance people, tolerance.
