I shot a few and tried to make them edible. I found that smoking them was tolerable but not worth the effort. On my old lab Zeke's very first hunting trip I shot a coot to give him something to retrieve right away. I am now convinced that there is no humanly way to swallow coot meat.
I kill rats, mice, starlings, ground squirrels, mosquitos, ants, squash bugs, and a host of other pests but I don't do it because I like doing it. I do it because I feel there is a need to do it. If there were no need, I wouldn't kill them, and I certainly wouldn't have killing them on any kind...
Did you know that there are little tabs on the sides of the boxes that hold plastic wrap and tin foil and such? You push them in, and they hold the role in place, so you don't have to fight and cuss at the damn role as you try to pull out a bit of plastic wrap. My niece pointed this out to me...

If they are older than 61, they must be stupid. An annual senior pass is only $20, and a lifetime pass is only $80 and they pay for everyone in the car. Most of the places you can buy them still take cash.
