Exactly this is p[est control. Anyone who could see the number of birds on this farm we will be going to on monday might have a different view. Great bird but like anything they need to be managed.

And which one of us is most likely to cause harm to our sport in this day and age? Because I choose to exercise restraint in my hunting does that automatically paint me as an anti? I don't shoot young Rabbits, I dont shoot any Game birds, Deer or even Hares - that's my choice but, more importantly, I don't make wild presumptions about people that do nor do I ask them to stop.

A very good point I’ve shot branchers in the past. I’ve also shot young fox cubs and rabbits. I wouldn’t do it now but understand if folk need to do it for a reason. As long as that reason isn’t sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
