jesus, if you aren't gonna eat it or anything, why the fuck kill it?
Read the posts people. They are considered vermin.....and killing them perfectly legal, and in fact often highly promoted w/ species such as jackrabbits and others that breed so rapidly, and overpopulate w/ numerous potential ramifications. This is actually HELPFUL to the coyote and fox population which are at much higher risk. They come by soon after, and get an easy meal that can keep them alive for weeks.

PS- According to law, it is preferrable to leave them, so the carcasses can benefit the surrounding wildlife. That's why, if you take them, you need to aquire a trappers license. "Varminting," ie, what we were doing, requires no hunting or trapping or any kind of game license. You can do it any time of the year, any season. You just have to observe certain local rules, such as.....no keeping a loaded rifle in the vehicle (where I come from, this means you can have a full mag in, and the bolt back, you just can't have a round chambered...you CAN have a loaded pistol in the car), no shooting FROM the vehicle, no discharging a firearm w/in city limits, and no shooting w/in 100yards of a main road. This isn't just wreckless juvenile nonsense.....this was researched.
