Reminds me of the unregulated mass extermination of species in the U.S.
Thinking about the duck population on the Chesapeake Bay. A good book to read ‘The Outlaw Gunner’ it’ll give you an idea how many water fowl there once was and the means people invented and used to kill damn near all of them off.
Imagine a punt with THREE barrels like that. It took out hundreds of water fowl in a blink of an eye.
