like a 7.62x39mm ?
Alex Doniach or his/her editor need to attend an English as a second language class.
Strycnine works just fine as long as they have enough water to drink.
If it’s like Texas, the farmer can shoot the deer if they are harming his crops, but if he touches them , it is considered “taking” and he is then subject to fines.
Well, yes, that’s what I would have done, too.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong with the word “bodies”?
I didn't know that. Here in Alaska moose road kills have to be turned in to designated charities.
Friend I live on a farm, there are deer in the back field everyday. I hunt and eat deer ever year, I just choose not to engage in wanton slaughter as this man does.
And therein lies the rub -
There are legitimate purposes for depredation permits. Some states are pretty tight with them, requiring convincing evidence of real crop damage to issue them, while other states practically give them out for the asking without verification of other efforts to control the offending critters.
My own personal opinion on the subject - every reasonable effort should be taken prior to just the wholesale slaughter of the animals.
1 - what methods were used to dissuade the deer from damaging crops (there are mixtures that can be applied to crops to make them distasteful to deer). There are mechanical means of preventing deer damage with varying degrees of effectiveness.
2 - Does the farmer allow any legal hunting on his property? My opinion - this should be one of the first lines of defense to keep the population manageable.
3 - What are the hunting regulations in the area? If the regulations are not allowing the culling of enough of the herd to keep them in check - then the regs need changing.
4 - Did the regulatory body actually verify the damage?
And I have one additional puzzle - with all the crops in the same area (soy beans, rice, corn, milo, and other crops, it seems a bit odd that deer would choose the cotton to be their target crop. Not quite normal behavior.
and lest we forget - there are programs to feed needy families with deer taken by hunters. If a farmer has a large herd and feels that he needs to just kill 40 of them - there should have been some sort of arrangement to have them processed (no cost to the hunter or farmer) for this purpose.

You know I was walking through the house and then it came to me, this was the first time I had ever heard that a deer would eat cotton. I looked it up, HREF=http://www.myplainview.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=18589336&BRD=517&PAG=461&dept_id=473182&rfi=6>myplanview this game warden says they will not eat cotton.
That would be one big deadfall for a bambi. I like your thinking, though.
It has to work, I read it in “My side of the mountain”!
Which is probably about as close I’ll ever get to actually hunting a deer...
That’s what I would have thought you’d do...we conservatives tend to do what is right not only for ourselves but to help others in the process.
Really, I know you are poking fun of my off-topic posts and if I was on the other end, I would to.
But hand to God this is the first time this is ever happened to me, I needed a not-too-busy thread to see if my posts were going OUT, and who knows, deer folks are as likely as anyone to have suffered a lightening strike.
Heh. ;)
So far we’ve got a list. I’m thinking the homeowner’s people might think I’m lying.
As for deer, I think people should be able to hunt them when needed, they should eat what they kill and I shall live the rest of my life without ever tasting deer meat again because I didn’t like it the first times.
I am a gardener so know my fondness for deer is not so great.
It really is a sickness I have to tickle ones goat, sorry you were at the end of it. Did you get your computer going.
“If we dont thin, other predators will move in to do the job, then libs will be up in arms about why are the predators here? Maybe they could then a few libs too(sarc)?”
Thinning Libs, (Libroids, Libtards, ad nauseam) isn’t yet legal. But, have you considered the future advantages of banning the hunting of Liberals in favor of a policy of doubling their taxes and removing their franchise?
After all, those who vote the Treason Ticket shouldn’t be voting because they want to destroy the Constitution.

Well I got a Rube Goldberg computer setup here anyways. But no, the big CPU, which is also my server, simply would not boot up. The green light indicated it was spinning but....
I suppose if I had a boot up disk, which I don’t, I could get it to work. But I figure, why bother? I do believe the data on that hard drive can be saved but, truth be told, the world won’t come to an end if it can’t.
My kitchen computer, which is where I’m typing from now, works just fine. IT was off during the big lightning boom whereas the other was on. Don’t know if it matters because you can take what I know about lightning strikes and shove it up the behind of a flea.
We have four TV’s in the house but the two that burnt out were the ones NOT hooked up to Comcast’s latest and greatest thing that let’s you order pay-for-view from your home, yada, yada. THOSE two TV’s, and the really expensive ones, are fine. The two that fried were just little things but hey, they died, may they rest in peace.
The family room fan, I’m not making this up, will NOT turn off. Husband jury rigged the thing but go to hell, we have no light and the fan does need to be fixed, somehow, someway.
The garage door is the real puzzler. Who’d have thunk? But darn if it doesn’t work. Husband says circuit board burned out. As chance would have it, the chain on that thing broke about three months ago and we had to have it fixed. When they fixed it they also modified it so you could open it by hand. This is my first home even with a garage much less a garage auto door and I’d never even gave a thought what happens when you can’t open it manually.
But we were able, this time, to open the garage so my Jeep wasn’t trapped.
Tomorrow I shall be dealing with the homeowner’s. I have owned four houses over an almost 40 year period. This is the FIRST time I have filed a claim.
I shall win.
