Trap and release is great for the flocks... Plus, it helps relations with farmers/homeowners who (at least here in WA) are the ones calling and asking for the birds removal. Not only that, but the trapping and releasing is a great time - especially for the kids. The whole experience is A+ in my book.

And if you think about the actual trap, I think the most ever trapped in one shoot doesn' t exceed 100... Most of them are below 40. Turkey Call Magazine had a great breakdown of this by state this month.
