They only get shot around this place when they cause a problem. So far, no problems with them.
When the neighbor has trouble with them getting into his sheep, I allow them to hunt them. Maybe if I had any losses to them I would feel different. I just ain't for shooting everything that moves, just because I can.
I don't shoot porkipines, skunks, fox or rabbits either. Unless they come into the yard and cause a problem.
I kind of like to see all the wildlife around here.
Others are welcome to do as they see fit.
