Mauser,I disagree totally. This year alone I just trapped a bunch of skunks,opposums,and even a fox and got a bobcat and already I have seen a bunch of pheasants and rabbit population has greatly increased. Just tonight we saw 2 hens and last night I heard a bunch of roosters. This is just on our little 20 acre CRP. And ya know something, ya can control them, and it is worth trying. Before this year the skunks and bobcats kept game birds 100% off of our land,0 birds in 20 arces of CRP, this year,tracks all over of birds after I took a bite out there population. The way I look at it every time I catch a skunk in one of my Conibears or get a bobcat oppurtunity. Those animals will live for about 3-5 and think of all the birds they have to kill to survive, that is one less predator I have to worry about and could save up to 30 birds too. Just my 2 cents.

Without passion.....Why bother?
