Targets of Varmint Hunting

The term varmint is a US colloquial term for vermin, though it refers more specifically to mammal or bird pests, including:

• predators, such as coyotes, wolves, foxes, or feral dogs, which can kill farm animals
• rodents, such as rats, prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, and groundhogs, that can damage cropland or pastures or carry disease
• invasive species, such as starlings, that are displacing desirable native species
