Around here farmers complain about deer and then post all their land.
They dont allow hunting on their land? If not, in Michigan at least, they can lose their crop insurance. They have to allow a certain amount of people on their lands to hunt.
I have tried to convince some of them to open their lands up at a fee for hunters. These wont, and the crop insurance becomes a revenue boon to them.
In KS the land owner just requests depredation licences, up to 20 or 30 at a time . He can use them himself or give them out to friends. He just cant sell them. No need to .50 BMG the guys when you can just walk up 50 yrds from them. Remington -06, Hawken .54cal, and the Dan Wesson .357mag W/8” barrel are all viable candidates for take down. Depending on what mood Im in that day.
Be nice to your farmer friends.
Yup. It’s the same with geese
I live on just a 5 acre parcel, and depending where your from (I'm a former {Brentwood} Long Islander, New York 11717) that's a lot of land (I thought so at first) but when you start talking about 25 - 50 acres plus, now your talking a lot of up keep.
Near me are some great fishing spot's, and the garbage (big pieces of auto's, washing machine's etc.) that is thrown & left on the surrounding farmer's field's is SHOCKING. One farmer was growing Popular Trees, on a plot of land approx 30 acres, had to abandon his goal because the quantity of garbage thrown & left on the property, out in the proverbial middle of nowhere. Cleared the trees out, no more garbage.

Probably want to put the door they’ve fed to end up in their own freezers. What’s wrong with that?
Of course they do.
They don't want some nitwit shooting their cow. Or dog. Or child.
They probably have a certain number of vetted hunters that they allow to hunt their land.
I have to say, there is nothing like a corn and apple fed deer.
Yum!
