Varmints-anytime of the year. There is no excuse, for example, why a ground squirrel should live on my land, crap on it, dig tunnels to sink my crops, and spread fleas, mites, and disease. A good ground squirrel is a dead one. Other varmints and predators like Badger, Coyote, Rabbit, and Jackrabbits are yearly, but depending on numbers and damage been done by. everything else, from turkey hunting and up, its season for me.
