predators and other varmints

[ajschainsaws]

Yeah I forgot about blue herons and white egrets are off limits

Swans are off limits too I think you gotta get permission from the
Queen to have one for the pot

When i worked at the trout hatchery Blue Herons where a predator. They would speer a trout through the net and destroy several with one swipe. Don't know what happen. We had 10 to 20 at a time. And eyes on us most weekends.

Yes, they make nests around ponds, and will not stop until every fish is gone.

But they say they taste like chicken.

The meats a bit darker..............I've been told.

Cormorants are also a problem on trout lakes and hatcheries
They’ll clear out everything if you don’t clear them out

We had a couple guys kill of cormorants the dec arrested them, then about 2 yrs. later the dec starts killing cormorants in the very same spot.

Those rotten birds can do work on fish populations. Every time I see them while I'm duck hunting my trigger finger gets a bit itchy.

Around A Bay?

Looks like you had a good night!
The conservation dept in my state publicly says they want land owners to kill Coyotes but continue to tighten up the rules for doing so. You can hunt at night but no electronic calls, artificial lights or night vision allowed. WTF?
You guys have it good. Don't let the huggers ruin it.
Our deer population is down as well. Coyotes are everywhere and in numbers I've never seen before.

Shooting feral animals (foxs cats dogs) over here is basically unregulated, they can be shot with any caliber, NV, thermal or trapped.
What the greenies have managed to do over here is have large areas of forest zoned as parks, no hunting of anything is allowed in these areas, millions and millions of acres locked up.

I like how they are smiling while they sleep!
