Yes John, we do have plenty, they are called "Antis" and "The Woke Brigade", and they can be a real pain in the back side - And we are not allowed to cull them! (Much is the pity)

Grey Squirrels (Treerats) yes, I dread to think actually how many there are in total.

I’ve shot well over 200 this year now and that’s having the occasional session in a seat.

Thats great too. Surely if every SD member shot 100 each every year there must be a dent of an enormous size.

Is there a tipping point at which overpopulation leads to die-offs? Every so often we have a winter bad enough to kill tens if not hundreds of thousands of animals which seems to balance the numbers.

Not really,drought is the worst but they simply migrate to where there is more feed. Its a big place and they can go many many miles.
