HERE IN MS. THE COON,SKUNK,COYOTE AND BOBCAT POPULATIONS ARE ON THE INCREASE! MORE AND MORE RESISTANCE IS BEING PLACED ON DOG HUNTING DURING CLOSED SEASONS FOR DEER OR TURKEY.LEGAL GUNS FOR THESE CRITTERS ARE .22S AND SHOTGUNS WITH SHOT NO LARGER THAN #6S.PRIVATE LEASE OR LANDOWNERS HAVE MORE OPTIONS BUT THE PROBLEMS ARE ON PUBLIC HUNTING AREAS WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HUNT THESE PROBLEM ANIMALS EXCEPT DURING DEER/TURKEY SEASON.IT IS HARD FOR ME TO TAKE A SHOT WHILE ON A STAND HUNTING A PARTICULAR BUCK AND I WANT EVEN SHOOT A COTTONMOUTH DURING A TURKEY HUNT.I DON' T KNOW HOW OUR TURKEY POPULATION CONTINUES TO THRIVE UNLESS IT IS THE JAKE LAW.WE HAVE EXCELLENT RESOURCES AND I CAN' T COMPLAIN BUT AM CONCERNED SINCE I SEE MORE AND MORE OF THESE ANIMALS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
