Wow.....a LOT of conjecture in here.....
These guys have to hunt the same seasons and bag limits as every one else.
Ummmm.....NO they don't. trust me.
They still have to follow all game laws.
True....in so much as the game laws make room for depradation permits. Some are "doe only".....some are not. I can tell you with 100% certainty....that they DO NOT have the same "seasons" we have to abide by. For instance.....the airport in Winston-Salem, NC is fenced in, completely. Hundreds of acres of woods and fields.....ALL fenced.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why deer and planes landing and taking offdon't mix with an abundance of deer
. So......the group I told you about, yesterday, approached the owners of the airport about their "problem". They secured a depradation/nuisance permit (one of the services groups like this offer.....and they're GOOD at getting them) and now they hunt there.....as far as I know.....ANY TIME THEY WANT TO.
I know for a fact they hunt there well into the spring.
If your goal is population control and "exermination".....what difference would mating seasons, bag limits, etc.... make? Your goal is 100% population control. The health of the herd is not even an afterthought.
The one thing these guys (here) have on their side is......they offer this "service" from the standpoint of bow hunting. It also doesn't make sense to allow rifles/ML's in an area planes are.
They have a niche' that they're filling.....and like I said.....they're good at what they do (in regards to securing lands to extend their seasons). They're also very secretive (wouldn't you be?) about what's being taken off these properties.....but I wouldn't be surprised in the LEAST to find out they've killed some slammers while performing their "services".
