PA - I guess you missed my point, too. If you can get a depredation permit, which has to be done by a CO then there is a problem. I am not saying that where you are there is a problem but maybe where they are there is. IDK because I am not there, but here GMMAT has a overpopluation of deer and 5 miles away where I hunt it isn't. I also don't believe in the hype about ticks, lime disease, car wrecks, scare tactics, etc. I think that they are offering a service that some may buy into but how is this effecting you? Are they taking land away from you? Are they hunting your land? If not, what's the big deal. They will scare the deer outta the land they are hunting and they will go somewhere else. As stated earlier GMMAT hunts land 5 miles from me and if he killed every deer where he hunts, it doesn't effect me. You seem to have a burr under your saddle about this, that I don't understand. If it doesn't effect you and is legal, why are your so upset. It's legal, that is all you can say about it, if not call them in. People here in NC bait, I don't but you don't hear me protesting about it.
