Finally, after 5 months of living here I have my first formal complaint here at the apartment. Apparently the new guy that just moved in beside me today absolutely hates the sound of ducks and geese. Mainly geese he says. He knocked on the door and asked if I was beating someone. I gave him a very odd look and asked, "what's it to you?" He said because I believe this is a nice and quite complex and I am hearing some odd noises. I bust out my goose call and lay into it. After I get done calling I asked him if that was the noise he was hearing. He responds yes and I say, "nope, not beating anyone." He then ask, if there was anyway I could do this outside. I respond, sure. 10 minutes later I go outside and let loose. I then get a phone call saying the new guy complained about my calling. I asked the lady on the phone if he gave her any pointers on how I could make it better. She laughed and said nope. Then we talked about quite hours, which are from 7 am to 9pm. It's 2:15 in the afternoon, I am good. She agrees. I am holding strong and not calling but i have never had a complaint so far. The neighbors love me. They know I hunt and watch over the building when they are not there. They do not complain and they actually enjoy listening to some of the calling. The kids love it. Anyhow, hopefully this guy relaxes some. Also, hopefully by Feb. I will be signing on a house. I can not wait!!!!
I might just have to bust out the Elk bugle this afternoon.
