You can never get rid of them by hunting alone. Need a good trap.
Don't think trapping and hunting will get rid of them either.
Nuclear holocaust?
Maybe!
I have never heard of a "game" animal with a "hunting season" ever becoming extinct!
In Oklahoma, the season runs from Jan 1 through Dec 31.
Hunting hours are 12:01AM until 11:59PM
No daily limit.
No bag limit.
No size limit.
No sex limit.
Baiting legal.
Electronic calls legal.
Trapping legal.
Method of take: no mortars, no field artillery, no tanks and no RPG's! All other methods legal.
Rifles, shotguns, pistols, revolvers and archery equipment.....all legal!
Laser guided missiles if you can afford them!
You'd think with hunting regs like that, these Okie "rednecks" would polish them off pretty quick.
About 2 weeks ago, had a sounder of about 40 run across one of my pastures!
