RE: If you like hunting Delaware don't let this slide
The most destructive animals from what I've seen would be Deer,Snow Geese,Ground Hogs,and Coons - maybe in that order. That HB will never fly in its present form - which kinda gives the farmers Card Blanc to shoot whatever they feel is destroying there crops. I don't think so - Home Boys!!
I heard they had another meeting last week for farmers and DNREC to speek there minds.These farmers do in fact lose Alot - Alot of AG crops to deer. But - I personally think they could and should do a bit more to help themselves with the deer problem. I.E. gather up some responsible hunters to thin out the Doe herd. I've seen time and time again a few guys hunt farms only to whack the bucks and a handful of Doe and thats it for the season.
Thats not management and doesn't do the farmer much good. A smart farmer gets a handful of guys in there and sets the rules up front for xxx Does 1st and xx Bucks 2nd or hit the road Jack! You can also set up some organized Deer Drives.
