RE: NYSDEC is a joke
Nuisance permits are handled very poorly IMO. Too many deer just get killed for the sake of getting killed. I have seen them piled up in a ditch and I personally know a farmer that kills them and piles them up and burns them with his trash.........it's horrible.
There should be no nuisance permits at all.............what they should have is the ability to apply for your deer to be thinned out by the DEC. When you can't do it yourself then ask for help. The DEC could have a list of hunters for each area and when a chance comes up they would be given permission to go and take some deer. At least they wouldn't get wasted.
