You guys keep talking about letting her go in the spring but killing her in the fall. You're still going to take her out of the breeding population either way. She may get to raise this years clutch but that's it. It's like folks talking about not shooting does late in the year because they may have bred already..........It's irrelevant. If you kill them then aren't breeding either way so you have accomplished the same thing. If you want to shoot her then shoot her. If you don't then don't but shooting her in the fall is going to accomplish the same thing that shooting her in the spring is going to.
