IME, you can't shoot'em fast enough to make a real dent.
Where I hunt, local land owners got the state's professional trapper involved. He's got a neat set up, knows what he's doing. He can monitor traps from his cell phone. When the trap is full, he trips it remotely, calls the locals who go kill them and haul them off. One time he was a hundred miles away when he tripped the trap, made the call.
I have seen a difference since he's been involved, much less rooted up real estate. Even then you'll never get them all. Gotta stay after them, can't let up or they'll be back in force.
