I hunt them year round. I also do a lot of depredation work. ANyone that says you can or will get rid of them is flat out wrong, you can try to keep a finger on their numbers, but you'll never get rid of them. They adapt and change their behavior better than almost anything. There is no season here, but like Rich said, it is a personal thing. If you want to keep hunting, by all means, keep hunting! Speaking of which...where are you in Oregon? My wife is from Bend and we are headed there in May...looking to do some hunting up that way. What do ya think?
