Just heard back from the HOA. I'm getting an email with all my options. Shooting one in the head is not on the list. She mentioned deterrents like motion-sensing lights or sound machines. She did say I could string a "fence" of fishing line on stakes around the patio as long as it's not visible from the golf course. I've heard this might work. I'll share more when I get the email. We're headed back to VA this weekend until October so I'm doing nothing until we get back and see if the shit-machines are still around. They're not migrating because they were born here.
