Lots of "we used to kill them by the truckload" comments here. We have a place in south central PA south of State College. The big fields on campus are FULL of them. When I first started going to the property (99 acres owned by my wife's family), I shot quite a lot as well. Then the population crashed, so I instituted a "no kill" moratorium for just two years. They came back in droves, so I now st a "quota" and it seems to work. Granted there is probably a lot with predators/habitat issues, but there's a hint there as well


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
