If your predator is federally protected you are f-ed...however, if your predator is not you may whack them...

Actually, these are good laws/regulations. If not everything at this point would be whacked and we'd have nothing. You need to get those pen raised tur-duck-ins in the house ("under cover")...

If it was me I might employ a BB-gun, but I do not encourage the breaking of any laws in this world.

(Box - yes, I am drunk, and yes I do not chime in that often, but I love to kill the webbed footed species, and I found this thread to my liking. Why am I hammered on Thursday may you ask? I am marlin fishing tomorrow, and I needed to get my mojo straight...God speed!)

Thanks for the inspiration...good luck with your tasty little soldier ducks...I hope enough make it to hunting seasson. Please invite me if you need a killer.

Regards...C-Duck
