Sonic Cannons to Frighten Birds

for scare crows.

I hated them as a kid becuase I never knew if it was a shotgun or an automatic carbide cannon when I was er ... borrowing some sweet corn.

There's hardly anyplace in the US where there's no noise any more.

I don't see how that's not disturbing the peace and your enjoyment of your property.

I get pissed off when I can hear the interstate a couple miles away.

To, gently, talk to some local produce sellers about it but was met with anger, hostility and denial of responsibility for this particular cannon. I realized this morning that almost everyone in this valley is experiencing PTSD to some degree. If it affects us that deeply, how much more profoundly do the birds feel it?

The Tyler Court of Appeals issued an opinion last week that dealt with the Texas Right to Farm Act. [Read opinion here.]

John Reeves leased farmland from Nan Miller in Anderson County Texas. When deer and hogs began damaging his crops, Mr. Reeves began using a propane cannon in the field both night and day during the growing season in order to scare away the deer and hogs. Mr. Hooton, who owns the neighboring property, complained that the noise from the cannon interfered with his use and enjoyment of his own property. Upon receiving that complaint, Mr. Reeves moved the cannon to a different area that was farther from Mr. Hooton’s home. Mr. Hooton claimed that he was still able to hear the cannon and that it made it impossible for him to sleep.
