Thanks guys....to be clear, this NEEDS to be done, due to over population, since their only predator (humans) have been slack the past couple of decades...don't want to....but gotta
. The biggest snapper I've seen a few times is literally 5' long head to tail, and there are just WAY too many in the 2'+ range. Lots of yellow sliders too....I trap them and relocate them (3 today....one was 10"). The first snapper I dispatched with my 9 mm FMJ...4 rounds however...no bueno
. I passed up shots today with the Marlin .357 JSP....will get different ammo first....if that doesn't suffice, I'll rethink this. I'm a "live and let live" guy....lots of assorted wildlife on my rural property, but predators are a different matter....some of y'all won't understand, and I won't try
