RE: Deer exterminators!!!???
My gripe with it is simple. We dont have the deer to warrant this so called organization. If we had the over population to warrant it. Then I wouldnt be on here pitchin a stink. The simple fact that they use scare tactics which is a joke, in order to give them more hunting periods is my problem. If they like to hunt, do it ethically and the proper way like the rest of us. Dont feed people trash about them being over populated and doing damage, when they know damn well right they arent. Anyone who hunts PA anymore knows the deer population isntan over populationproblem.Its the opposite.I havent been able to come to grips with the fact that many of farms in SE PA that I used to hunt are now housing developments for the people spreading out from Philly. The deer have no where to go. But this does not mean they are over populated, we have less now then we did 20 yrs ago, but we have even less land for them to occupy. So using the smoke and whistles to convince people they have a deer problem, is my problem with the whole situation. I'd prefer them come right out and say, hey im lazy I dont want to scout, I dont want to go get permission to hunt areas in season, ill use this BS to try and expand my hunting season and load my freezer and wall. Thats what their website should really say. IMO. Sorry if I got worked up about this, but I am sure anyone else who has grown up hunting an area and seen the changes, and then seen people trying to compound an existing problem that directly effects their own passion, will ruffle up their feathers as well. O well takes all types of people to make the world go around. Ethical and Schematic.(is that even a word? if not should be.)
