SPROUL,I know guys that were trapping and killing them in the 70's and 80's.In 1980,my next door neighbor killed two onthe first drive of doe season that year.I've also seen pictures in game news and newspapers dating all the way back to 1938.They were always here.Did the PGC also stock them in every othere state?I don't know of one of the lower 48 statesthat they don't inhabit.
