I thought so as well when they introduced the hunt, as the 600 acre park they hunted is in city limits. They had the liability insurance and were considered professionals. The park was closed with all roads leading into and out of the park blocked while the harvest was in progress. There was a ton of meetings on the subject whether to allow hunting or hire professional sharpshooters. 2013 will be the 7th annual hunt. I was lucky enough to meet one of the shooters and he was using an AR platform (did not think to check the caliber), supressor, with a night vision scope and laser. Sweet looking gun. The harvest took place from dusk to dawn and they reopened the park in the daytime. All the meat was donated to local soup kitchens.
