    One was eating out of my bird feeder last week. At one point I had around 8 using the dove field behind my house, we killed one out of that field last season.

    We killed eleven on a sponsor hunt in 2011 in Swansea. I ended up with four of them!

    They're thick out west and the cold doesn't bother them so you can shoot them year round. I've have had a few 200+ bird days shooting them at feedlots. I know they're an invasive species but I don't mind them.

    I see them all the time at our lake house. They kill them on the public fields around the lake pretty regular.
