so far i dont think i have heard anything about the Farm Bureau and the Insurance companies. These organizations have billions of dollars of revenue that they are willing to spend on determining if deer would ever be banned. Personally i dont think that it would go over well after a year or so
Around my area the farm bureau especially which is funded by insurance companies wants to bump our county up to 2 deer from 1 deer which could devestate the herd since we do not have many deer in our area but farmers have been convinced by the farm bureau that it is bad and now the farm bureau is pressuring the DNR to raise the deer harvest rates
The insurance companies would rather pay the DNR to raise the harvest rates than to have to pay out 20 times more for deer car collisions or have to pay a company to thin the herd over the whole united states.
Great post and very true.Insurance companies have had it with these large deer population, farmers, and property owners in suburban homeowners with their precious flowers and bushes getting chewed up. I am hoping that hunters in our state quit taking advantage of these liberal doe tags and just say no to shooting lots of deer. Probably won't happen though. Insurance companies have a lot more to say than peta antis too. One more reason to not be afraid of peta and the antis.
