I harvest and quite enjoy the meat from groundhogs and wild hogs which are a huge problem where I live. I help out my neighbors and find my freezer full of free meat!!! Not to mention I get tons of practice with my .44 mag😍

The number one spot should be humans: we are the most invasive specie.

You forgot Horses. At least we can eat the other invasive species but we are not allowed to eat the overpopulated wild horse.

Snake problem? Introduce mongoose and problem solve

@eogg25 4 жыл бұрын

They did that already to get rid of the rattle snakes but found out mongoose like chickens better than snakes, so they got rid of them.

Dave Jan truth is wolves have been taken out too from wildlife services not wild life conservancy, I raise my own yaks so I make my own cheese,yogurt,milk,cream and my own jerky,I raise my own animals and grow my own food I also happen to have gone through childhood health and education courses so I homeschool my own children,Because right now MAN mostly OLD GREEDY MEN(boomers)older than 45 yrs old has wiped out everything including ALL the fucking Predators and prey along with it, shoot before i was even born,boomers went hogwild on the hunting. Now Im an adult and I have to worry about cyanide traps on my homestead, Also google the fact wildlife services commit acts of terrorism by placing these cyanide bombs illegally on peoples property where children and pets are injured,wildlife services are sick bunch of creeps like BLM is too, two programs do nothing but be wastes and contributes NOTHING to society but just drains money to bottomless pockets with hoardes of money these punks hurry up and cash cow on all the taxedermy and bragging rights for cheating/poaching than make it illegal for anyone else . Either way figure yourself out. Learn.

eogg25 .....Not when you reload and not when they are coming in to roost and hundreds can be in a very tight group. Open up the choke and watch em drop......30 per shot. Dog tag chains loaded in the shot cup really raise havoc with them too.

@@dad5650 I have not seen flocks of starlings like you describe for years, in the fall there used to be hundreds of them flying. the farms around here are almost all gone and so are those starlings. nothing to hunt around here anymore. When the subdivisions came, The crows and starlings left, no more nesting areas. enjoy.
