There was a product released this year in south dakota that you treated the seed corn before you plant it and it gives the sprout a taste the birds don't like. I beleive it is some form of methiocarb or something like that and i think the product name was avetec or something, i bought some but containers out in the shop. Our big problem is the pheasants here, usually its just a few rows on the end but this year they wiped out about 20 acres. My corn salesman tried to tell me to use it but at $400+ a gallan i didnt do it. One gallon will treat 900-1000 lbs of seed, so its not as bad as it sounds. After i had the damage i reseeded the bad spots and treated the seed, and it does work. The neighbor treated all of his corn seed and had no damage and he used a small portable cement mixer to apply the product to the seed, although most seed places will treat it for you if you do your business with them. Next year i will treat all the corn seed because if your the only not doing it they will hit your field the worse. If you don't have a lot of acres maybe you could buy a portion of a neighbors because it only comes in a gallon form. There is also dry form of the product but i have heard it does not treat the seed as well and has had bird damage because of it. thats what i know hope it helps, although the dynamite and gravel thing sounds like fun. Normally i don't mind wildlife but with all the hunters buying up land around me and then their birds cost me an extra $1000 bucks in replant seed and this chemical all bets our off for birds in my fields.
