Chef this happens all across the country...and the DNR is the entity that issues the permits. From the reaction that I'm seeing here it appears as though some of you are as radical about persuing this as the anti's are about stopping us from hunting. You need to consider all of the facts before you pass judgement, go to the media, and file lawsuites. BTW moving a bail of hay closer to the house isn't going to keep deer from eating it. Truth be known, killing 65 to 75 deer in a few hundred acres, looks like they have an overpopulation problem to start with. Even the herd out, the crop damage will slow down and the herd will become healthier. So I'm suggesting that you don't get so radical about this issue w/o doing some homework first. Go to the media with it and the antis will love you for it!
