What do you do with your varmints?

I put them to work guarding the perimeter.

I'm just curious as I see so many people shooting Rock Chucks, Prarie Dogs, Ground Hogs, even Coyotes...

What do you do with all of them? Do you throw them away?

I've long felt it was more ethical to shoot paper than varmints as I wouldn't eat the meat. I want something tangible if I am hunting, like a turkey, pig, deer, bear, elk, or even big horn sheep...all of those I would eat.

I see guys on here with piles of varmints, so what do you do with them?

Curious mostly. Aside from being able to hit a moving target, when they do move, I guess I don't get it. Most of them are not running when you shoot them, they seem to be a standing target. So, what's the point? Not trying to be rude, just curious.

If I could shoot on my property, which I can't, I'd love to shoot some rattle snakes...alas my property is in city limits.

My raptors are sure eating good as of late ,gh's coyotes, problem is the buzzards come in 6 at a time and make short work,especially with warm weather upon us.

Give them flying lessons, at best.

When I had to eliminate groundhogs on the farm, I always put them under the manure pile. They absolutely vanished under there. I even made a couple deer carcasses go away under there (with the game warden's agreement)
