The M-249 comes in handy and still doesn't get them all.
A lot of tamales to make!

Here in Florida those bastards wreck citrus groves. They're intelligent. They'll attack the roots of trees to get them to drop the fruit.
The cattle aren't treated with hormones and antibiotics, all natural.
One bite from a ravenous bacteria/parasite infested hog spells disaster for a rancher and their herd. The only cattle that is treated with antibiotics and hormones are show cattle/livestock that leave the ranch.
Never mind injury sustained by cattle and horses from the craters they leave behind often requiring to be put down on site due to a leg fracture.
249? I'd be out there with an MG42/MG3 or M60. With 2 foot long inconel/titanium suppressors and wizard eyes to take whole groups of them out at night.
You and I, we get it. Try explaining the credibility of lawful use of machine guns to cosmopolitan/suburban/city America will conjure thoughts of some movie or the assumption of a Somalia type environment, followed with. Well you can't hunt with a machine gun!
Sure you can. We could prove it if allowed.
But you don't wear a badge or uniform. Are you suggesting we need a tax payer funded bureacracy to go in and do the job?
Nope. Just End The Hughes amendment. Us tax payers and land owners can handle it from there.
The lake I lived on in NY was ruined by Canadian geese after the cityiot transplants moved in and banned hunting on the lake via rezoning it a residential area.
I'd have made a belt fed 12 gauge and taken whole hordes of those territorial crap everywhere useless birds.
Instead, the lake turned green, their toy breed dogs got attacked, their kids ran around barefoot in their yards stepping in the goose crap getting parasites/infections, board of health DEC and ENCON placed signs to stay out of the water if you had a weak immune system, open cuts/sores/wounds, not to eat the fish from the lake, nor drink the water from the lake.
Same happened with deer.
Ended hunting friday-Sunday to appease the busy body scared of being confused for a deer as they jogged/biked along the side of a road in a neon spandex leotard.
Deer ravaged field corn for dairy farmers, ravaged orchards, and our car insurance went through the roof when the cityiots would smoke Bambi on their way up to their weekend/summer home, they can't drive, they go like a bat out of hell and wonder why they're smacking deer left and right.
That only became a problem when deer suffered wasting disorder and started venturing into their well groomed and lush weekend/summer home yard eating everything that can provide them nourishment.
They created the problems. Then tried to find scapegoats (local farmers) and tried problematic approaches (gathering mountain lions from Vermont to be released to thin the deer population which they didnt. Apex Predator gonna Apex Predator.)
Doubled down on the dumb and I left. I can only imagine what they're doing now there...
Quick call the cops there's a deer in the backyard! It's eating my garden and shrubs that I paid good money for!
Then I wonder how many got mauled by the mountain lions vs mistaken for deer.
I know for a fact there were 0 cases in that County for someone being mistaken for a deer from the time I left going back 40 50 60 years.
