Shooting Methods

Option 1--lethal control    Everyone is aware that shooting can be an effective method of killing problem wildlife.  However, shooting can be used in a non-lethal form as well, namely hazing.

Option 2--hazing  Hazing is used when the sound/noise of the gun firing disperses the target animal without killing or harming it.

 

Shooting Equipment

Shooting Equipment can be divided into three main categories, firearms, non-firearms, and ancillary devices.

  1. Firearms--use gunpowder or other flammable or explosive propellant. Shotguns, rifles fall under this category.
  2. Non-firearms--use mechanical or pressure to propel the projectile. Air rifles and compound bows fall under this category.
  3. Ancillary devices--include equipment to assist the shooter in hitting the target. Scopes, night vision goggles would fall under this category.
