I feel your pain!
Well, a little. In Montana we have a spring black bear season, and after that can shoot unlimited numbers of agricultural rodent-pests until other big game seasons open in fall. At the moment, however, we're anticipating another spring blizzard....
A nice black bear hunt and an ammo can fulla 600 empty 22-250 hulls after cleansing a PD town would surely be a great elixir.
