Remember the good old days when you could buy "bird bombs" for wildlife control?
 

Heck, I remember buying boxes of these things every now and again at gun shows over the years. They were GREAT for chasing away nuisance animals and birds. The reason I'm even thinking of them now is because we have a your steer, cow, bull, or whatever coming into the yard who seems to REALLY like our centipede grass.

Don't want to hurt him, but we're getting tired of the "mines" we have to avoid when walking around that he drops all over the place. So he's really got to find somewhere else to hang out.

I can only find a half dozen or so of the bird bombs in the back room, and they are almost all gone now. Most of them don't work anyway because they are so old, so I figured I would try to order some online. Been quite a while since we've been to a gun show, and I just figured they would be readily available.

Hah! Fat chance of that. Looks like the feds have decided (for our own good, of course) that we can't get them without jumping through a couple dozen hoops and filling out permit applications for review for the "necessity" of our being able to possess these *dangerous* items.
