Don't apologize to me, you have feelings for herons. I do not. I can't stand them. I have seen them needlessly spear too many fish and frogs they can't even eat, and leave them speared, dying on the shore. And in a season this may happen 100's of times. Besides that, I have also seen them cause thousands of dollars of damage to koi ponds. I am normally a live and let live guy. They don't, and my job is to protect my customers ponds, and fish as assets. I have a zero tolerence program that I implement with extreme prejudice. If I could legally put a red dot on any poachers head and end it that way I do. I don't get my kicks from being cruel to animals. My business is giving my customers happiness fishing and enjoying thier ponds. Not letting them see mortally wounded fish wiggling to death on the shore drying out in the sun. Business is business.
