They eat everything that swims and have a serious impact on the lake. Their crap is toxic. Look what they did to Middle Island. It's practically defoliated. Motor up close to it and get a whiff. It stinks! When we were kids we'd run all over that island and goof around in the old lodge. I wouldn't step foot on the place without a haz-mat suit. Nothing a scoped .22 and a few thousand shells wouldn't fix!

That old Lodge was supposedly own and run by the Chicago gangster AL Capone. It was a haven for running bootleg booze into the States during prohibition. When I was a kid there was an older gent who claimed he ran illegal liquor from there and was shot at and hit with the bullet penetrating both of his buttcheeks but still managed to escape capture. He always hung out at the Blue Heron Restaurant where the current Moose Lodge is now located. True or not I have no idea, but heard the same story several years later from a co worker who knew that man's son. You are right those birds sure did destroy that island as well as killed off the feral sheep that roamed there after it was abandoned.

22's with suppressor is what I heard, Not sure about the round, I ask a friend to go fishing. He said that we had to qualify, Ask for what and that is when he told me about the cull out on the islands
