Wildlife Ping!
Just shoot them.
Missouri has probably the best wildlife management in the US. Everyone in the business listens carefully when they speak.
I wanna be first “Tastes like Chicken!”
Texas has a severe Feral Hog problem...shoot them all.
You don’t mean kill Bambi do you? Elk is good though!
Thawing out some venison right as I read this.....
That basic fact seems to be lost on the environmentalists of today -- most of whom seldom if ever step out of their rarified urban enclaves.
I'm afraid old-school conservation is being replaced by radical environmentalism. The demographic trends don't look good either. The younger generation is being indoctrinated with environmentalist agenda, and they're completely unaware that there is a practicable alternative -- old-school conservation.
It could be a tough four years with radical environmentalist/socialist Carol Browner in Obama's cabinet.
Thanks for the ping!
Hunting yes, trapping no. Trapping is very unselective, and catches both unintended wildlife species and pets. Even live traps, if not checked at least a couple of times a day, can end up killing an animal in harsh weather.
a country boy can survive.
A city boy will starve.
I try to help New Mexico deal with its Elk problem. We need a 2fer. My three cats take care of the small game around the house.
I hunt and fish. Nearly everyone I know hunts & fishes. We take what we NEED and USE what we take.
And we never, EVER soil our own nests. :)
I always chuckle when I see “HUnting and fishing is no longer a means to put food on the table”.
I just finished up 30 lbs of WIld boar Bratwurst, Sweet Italian sausage and breakfast sausage and I still have 40 lbs of venison to get packaged for freezing and donation to our church.
Hunting and saves my family about 400 lbs of store bought meat per year not counting what we consume in fish.
I would guess our $$ savings to be over $1,000 per year if you add in the garden
