This post is GRAPHIC DO NOT READ if you are not in to HOSP disposal.........
I am beside myself with with haunted feelings of grief. I have an outbreak of HOSPs in my little area here in the woods. They have been growing in numbers for the last 3 years....there werent any here before then. Today I trapped my first one of the season in a nest box. I have had to use the trapping and smashing method. I HATE this. The first year I was able to shoot the bird off the top of the box with a 22. Last year they were on boxes I could not shoot. (neighbors in that direction) so I had to trap. Today I trapped a male,
I whipped this bird 2x on a tree as hard as I could...but trying to remove it from the bag I sensed it still moving.
I finally smashed it with a log but I cant get the pain and fear I caused it out of my head......I cant stop crying, my stomache is sick....There are more here ..I hope they bond to boxes I can shoot them where ther is no fear or pain....I cant stop crying........please help me, I know I have to do this.
