I don't know if I would have a grass problem without them, but am considering shooting about 3 or 4 just to get some peace. What do you guys think?
Yep I'd thin them down. They are getting too big to be that effective and they aren't doing much good if they are more interested in the pellets. Thin them down and add some smaller ones.

It may be they may skidaddle after you take out one or two and they are shot at.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
