My neighbors run an equestrian ranch with 25 horses. Its tough for me to even shoot targets without them cussing me out. Its kind of funny though, my wife and I got married in our back yard and one of our wedding gifts were 6 ducks. They lasted about 6 weeks. Every week one would disappear, with a pile of feathers on the ground, until eventually they were all gone.
Those domesticated ducks never saw the foxes when they went to sleep!
We usually have spells when the snow geese will hang out and make a bunch of noise until they get sick of my dog chasing them off. But this year its been several mallards, and their girlfriends.
So do you live in Chesapeake or on the shore? Plenty of waterfowling opportunities around both places... but I do know a few folks who have "run a foul of the foals" so to speak with horses and neighbors. Especially in Chesapeake!
