Al, I had someone answer one of my posts by highlighting what fun it is to go shooting "varmints"... Yeah, I can't understand that, either. As for Aspberger's, I know plenty of people with it. After all, I'm an engineer. Tenchusatsu

I had someone answer one of my posts by highlighting what fun it is to go shooting "varmints" well some "varmints" are very destructive..........woodchucks for example. I had one digging burrows all over my property. After one cut a buried electrical line that fed my outside garage, I had to plug him with a 22. Many farmers welcome varmint shooters to thin out the woodchuck population. I agree though......once you get past woodchucks........shooting varmints is a whole lot harder to rationalize. I know they consider coyotes varmints out west where the populations are very high. I suppose a controlled thinning of the population is reasonable though.

What fun can it be to kill a defenseless animal just for no reason? You apparently have little experience with varmints and invasive species. In Texas the wild pigs are destroying the habitat for many native species and in Louisiana the Nutria problem in is so bad they offer $4 for the tails. wwwprd.doa.louisiana.gov Some folks have made $1000's shooting nutria, polishing skills and having a good time saving the environment. Excellent reason to have high capacity magazines for either .22lr's or ar-15's shooting .223/5.56 youtube.com The goal of the Program is to encourage the harvest of up to 400,000 nutria annually from coastal Louisiana.
