Re: [MBZ] Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

Those field rats are so accustomed to being honked at that they have figgered out no harm comes to them if they ignore it.  So they ignore the sound. Some of them in WI are so accustomed to being around people that I practically have to punch them in the nose to get them to move.   (close

Last week buddy Zack shot what he thought was a doe (later turned out to be a small antlered buck) that was hanging out with two other deer. The two other deer moved about 100 yards off.When Zack approached the one he shot and realized it was a buck (he still had a doe tag) he looked the other

OK... I vote for the siren, plus machine guns, as deer deterrent and population control. I'm sure airport neighbors wouldn't mind the occasional late night gun run down the runways, right? [sarcasm folks] On Wed, Dec 18, 2019 at 5:21 AM Meade Dillon via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

I doubt either of Don's planes are rated for the stress of pulling out of a steep dive close enough the sireen would scare the field rats. Even P-51s shed their wings when the pilot attempted to pull out of a steep dive. Then there are the questions of availability and cost. Maybe some form

Re: [MBZ] Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

A normal landing with the throttle at idle doesn't bother them. Buzzing them at 50 feet or so does cause them to leave the runway, at least long enough to fly another pattern and get on the ground. The houses surrounding the runway make shooting them safely difficult, though we do have hunters at

Re: [MBZ] Something for the guys who need to avoid deer

OK, how about using several, with converging fields of coverage, mounted on stands, with motion activation? OR, rig them with interlocking timed activation, so they are not all on all the time, sort of a random "sequence" to keep little bambi scared and confused. Surely, there is a way to outsmart

Possibly something like this which doesn't rely on reflection from the ground. Cheap enough to buy one and see if it works and then get more for better coverage. MG G Mann via Mercedes wrote: Any reason why the device could not be mounted on a stationary stand, clear of runway [of course]

Any reason why the device could not be mounted on a stationary stand, clear of runway [of course] and powered by a stand alone power supply? Perhaps, use several of them with interlocking fields of coverage to shield the entire runway and approaches? Just a thought. On Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 12:34

My buddy Zack is doing his best to help out. He shot his 3rd and 4th deer today. Culling the population you might say. He's amazing, he'll find a fresh track in the snow and run the deer down. Any time I've tried that I end up spending the day walking in circles with the deer laughing at me...
