Interesting. Rats already have a huge mortality rate anyway. Didn't realize swans were a problem but I knew herons get them

Do we even have Mute Swans in the west?
All I ever see are the Trumpeter Swans.

Never mind, now that I look, I see there are some here but, they are mainly an east coast bird.

What Dove Huntress needs to do is get a petition going to get a season on them so I can stop worrying about getting a ticket every time I shoot one.
