    They're a game bird .. you can shoot them in the duck season with a duck licence.

    If you're a cocky, and whinge hard enough , Fish and Game will give you a limited licence to shoot them in the duck season.

    sounds like problem solved for you toby .. although you'll have to wait till next year.

    I would also council shooting as many of the little bastards you can each time you get a chance. They get VERY wise to the ways of men very quickly, and once thye've been shot at are hard to get close to .
