I guess those missed shots added up!
Not saying I am right but every fourth goose getting killed just doesn't sound right. If 25% get wiped out before they migrate over the border into the US you have to assume at the very least as many get shot down there. Can any species take that kind of harvest?Quote:

Probably misread the q card. Gotta be either 1.8 million or 20,000 shot
How do they determine that 200 000 are killed ? That doesn't make sense
Might be the same guys who calculated the costs of the gas plant scandals, dunno?Quote:
