There is always the baseball card and clothes-pin trick.

+1.
Love my hi/lo Freeway Blasters.
(P.S. Jean - I hear that rock salt in a 12 gauge really pisses them off.)

I'm not sure that "pissing them off" is the result I'd be looking for....

You're right!
Maybe reload with small wood stakes?

Pissed-off zombies cannot be good for YOUR health.
Or do they react to the salt the same way as slugs (snails without shells)?

I have a FIAMM horn too. Around here (western Canada), we've adopted political correctness in a big way. We're much too polite to go around honking horns. Weeks can go by without hearing one. Not like other places I've been, where if seconds went by you would begin to wonder what was going on....

I like quiet. My Epcos are the stock replacements but in stainless steel. I don't think they are louder than the originals, but my originals were rusted out so I don't know what they sounded like new.

So, jtoml, If someone steps out in front of you, you just bump them silently back onto the grass rather than blasting them with your hooters?
But in Western Canada, do the Moose respond to horns anyway?
