Rats breed year round. When is it ethical to trap or poison them? What is the kill season for the gophers in the garden?
The US implemented hunting seasons to conserve game in order to have a huntable population. Before that game was hunted year round. The population of this invasive non-game bird is increasing faster than the native mourning or white wing dove, which it may displace.
And John didn't use the phrase "in my opinion" in any of his posts. He stated his position as fact and then used the pejoratives "blood lust" and "slaughter" to describe the people and actions of those who disagree with him.
John is a long time member with many posts. He can answer for himself.
Mike, I was not aware that these things were as bad of a problem out West as you all have described, so I did overstep in my reply to the op post and pictures.
Have to admit I was into the Old Turkey when I did so, and was a little too pointed with the words I used, so please forgive me for offending you, or anyone else here. That was not my intention.
