RE: wasting deer!
Well, as rcw280 mentioned...if you want to see wasted deer just go to any registration station in a cwd eradication zone in wisconsin. The dnr has ditched any hint of ethics and morals when it comes to hunting now a days. It is absolutely disgusting to see deer piled up high in dumpsters and semi trailers waiting to be taken to the dump. It is such a waste. I know of a farmer in the mount horeb area who had personally 'slaughtered' over 30 deer 2 years ago off his combine while harvesting corn. And yes...by the dnr's standards, this was completely legal. My brothers, dad, uncle and I hunt 250 acres of land outside of Mount Horeb. in the last 3 years we've taken one deer stictly because we see the population declining so rapidly. Because we don't have deer in the freezer, we have seriously contemplating going to the registration station and waiting for some trigger happy bum to bring in a deer he plans on just throwing away and taking it not only for the meat, but to make a statement that throwing deer away is incredibly disrespectful, and definately not 'hunting'!!! Landowners and hunters need to speak out with not only words, but actions to let the Wisconsin dnr know they are not happy, and that their so called 'plan' to control cwd is not and will never work!!! Sorry, but now i'm all worked up!!
