I'm sorry but using guns as population control only works to a certain degree. For instance check out the feral hog problem in some states (especially Texas). They pay people for bringing in hog ears or bodies during an open season. Guess what? Hogs reproduce so fast that trying to control them by guns, traps, etc barely puts a dent in their numbers.

Population control through guns only works on small scale (and the best example would be killing off goats on some of the Galapagos islands since they were a feral/introduced species that were out competing the tortoises).  Case in point you won't get rid of all those snakes in Florida through killing with guns.

yea, but the only options i see would be too introduce a poisen or a predator into the wild and that could very dangorous too.  But I agree you wont get rid all of them, but it can't hurt to kill some.
