Sorry about you lightning problems. I ran a cleanup program on my computer and it dumped the program that allows me to log on. Wound up losing everything and having to reinstall Windows. Real bummer!

Just wait till a type of “mad-cow” hits the deer herd, Then ALL of them have to be destroyed! Up here in S.E. Mi. we have to worry about bovine tb hitting the deer herds, then the same result will have to happen. southere Mi. does not allow rifle hunting, only shotgun or bow.

Why not a bow season?

There is a bow season but these pockets are private properties and theres no way people are going to appreciate a hunter tracking a wounded deer thru their subdivisions and back yards ..........

FWIW, all the hunters I know will usually score at least 3 dear a season. Even more if they have access to friends' tags......

Yep, same here, unless the freezer is too full with moose.

You misunderstand: THEY make him let the deer rot.

They won’t let him distribute the meat.

Do you understand how much damage a herd of deer can do to a farm?

Your reasoning is like complaining about the anti-theft sensors at stores, reasoning that “a shopkeeper that can’t afford a little shoplifting was just about too broke to be in business”.

We’re not talking “a few deer”, we’re talking a LOT, as in 40 were just the ones he actually managed to shoot.

What works on apples may not work on cotton. Think about it.

It's already being hit with "chronic wasting disease", which I imagine will ultimately need the same kind of treatment.

That is what I was thinking about....

Then the envirowacko’s will blame us [the consertives] about those “wonderful” deer getting sick from our stuff, and this would not have happened if we had just elected algore.

Farmers don’t get crop damage permits in Tennessee? You can hunt deer year round with those in Maryland.

Are they making him leave them unburied? If so, then what the hell?

It’s illegal for him (or anyone else) to eat them.
To do that, he’d need a hunting license, and they’re out of season and too numerous.
They’re afraid someone might abuse the “farmers can shoot them as pests” allowance as an excuse to fill freezers, so they let the farmers kill deer as pests to stop the damage, but not allow consumption thereof.

But no - some guy takes out a herd that is wrecking his crops, obeys the law in doing so, and gets chewed out for “slaughtering them and letting them rot” ... it’s not his fault, people! It’s the lawmakers that are compelling the waste thereof.

Have I ever told you that you are a nut job?

If not, consider yourself told.

I'm am so sorry that I did not get a picture of that. You and coolbreeze on the roof would have been a classic pic. Oh well.

Now, I have 4 days of pings I need to catch up with.
