HOW MANY TURKEYS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY STOMPING THEIR HEADS IN THE GROUND AFTER THE SHOT, EVEN WITH A SHOTGUN. I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNG, BIRD HUNTING WITH A BB GUN AND EVERY KILL WAS TONS OF FUN. MAYBE I WAS LACKING OF RESPECT FOR THE BIRDS, I DON'T KNOW, BUT I PROMISE I DIDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT, AND I LEARNED ALOT OF GOOD HUNTING SKILLS. HUNTING SMALL GAME OR VARMENTS IS PART OF OUR OBLIGATION OF BEING ON TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN. I CAN SAY I HAVE GAINED RESPECT FOR ANIMALS OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE IN MY ADULT YEARS, BUT I ALWAYS REMEMBER WHOS RESPONSABILITY IT IS TO KEEP ANIMALS IN CHECK ESPEICALLY VARMINTS THAT PROBRALY DON'T HAVE MANY PEDATERS IN SUBURBAN AMERICA. I KILL SEVERAL SQUIRRELS EVERY YEAR THAT CHEW ON MY OUTSIDE DECK. JUST REMEMBER YOUNG MAN, THERE IS A PLACE IN THE WOODS FOR ALL VARMINTS. BY KILLING THOSE GOPHERS YOU PROBRALY DONE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY SOME GOOD. JUST BE SAFE.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.
