Default RE: Deer eating crops... okay to shoot???

I have several close friends that are dairy farmers.For the past 6 months,their milk checks aren't even covering their feed bills.Sorry,but people expectthere to be way more deer than there has to be.Unfortunately in the case of Pa,the habitat has taken a huge nosedive as a result.There's absolutely no reason forhunters to expect struggling farmers to pay for someone else's need for excessive deer populations.

In Pa,a Farmer that generates the majority of his income from crops doesn't need any type of depredation permit.
