This has NEVER failed to work for me re 'wild' animals. Domestic dogs have been a different story I wont go into here. I had a small herd of deer...two does and a buck, cross in front of me while riding once and at the edge of the woods the buck decided to turn. VERY scarey as it was 'rut' season. I hit him w/an airhorn blast and he stopped in his tracks. It was enough for me to get away, but he couldv'e caught me in about 3 seconds if he'd wanted. I think the sound is SO loud that it just confuses them. Skunks, raccoons, even a bobcat once...Man, that was REALLY scarey, but he just took off running the other way.

BTW, obviously there's a nesting area nearby re your situation. Talk w/local wildlife management people to get some coping strategies. And it IS, but isn't funny.
