Pallets in fields

[smstonypoint]

Steve and I have been in correspondence regarding a goose shortage in South Carolina. He reminded me of the theory that pallets in fields might frighten geese away and I want to thank anyone and everyone who's been inverting their pallets in the upstate.

Let the record show that I remain skeptical regarding the validity of this so-called "theory." Earlier in this thread I posted this image that debunks the "theory."

Man, that's the worst photochopped image I've seen in a long time, at least don't cut the goslings in half.

No man its a special camera he uses. He would never think of such a thing!!!!

I am thinking he didn't put a lot of effort into that one..:mischievous::mischievous:

Something sinister must be going on here. The pallet is no longer standing in the field after the geese arrived.

I have done this, Steve, but only as a long-term experiment as to the benefits of Inverted V Pallet Structures.

However I believe that I can tentatively report that, as a Canada Goose repellent, it is working brilliantly. I've not recorded or seen one Canada Goose here in Tasmania.

It also appears to work for tigers! Not one sighting... which is a relief!

Yeah, but you got them Tasmanian Devil's, and they are worse than any Tiger I ever saw here in Missouri... We do have them pooping gooses though... lots of em around the lake.

The geese were overloaded and the wing tip vorticy caused the pallets to flip!

Tassie Devils are scavengers... and right now there's a mouth cancer that's really knocked down their population (poor buggers). They're trying to breed a safe population IOT release back into the wild here but a bunch of them have been nailed by cars as they've been feeding on road-kill themselves. Very powerful, bone cracking, jaws on them. A rare sight now = very sad.

There was a Tasmanian Tiger (thylacine) which was declared extinct in the '80s... but there's still hope (and a reward) that it's not so. The Tassie Tiger is even on our vehicle license plates.
