I know nothing about WV game politics. What I do know is that none of my neighbors have the brown its down attitude. When they found out i was from Pa they got real upset. They were scared I was bringing the Pa.attitude to their community.None of my neighbors slaughter the doe. Infact my one neighbor shoots only 8 pt and bigger. He was raised in WV and has 600 acres and his family only bow hunts. Everyone I have met in the area was concerned I was going to do what they heard Pa was doing. They hate all Pa hunters because of what some are doing..Yes they shoot doe when necessary but the people I met ONLY want a big heard and support the deer with supplement feeding. I think there more feeders in WV then people. I can only speak for my area not the whole state. I will say no matter where I travel in the state I see deer all times of the day standing around everywhere. One thing that bothers me though is how tame some of the deer seem. Infact alot of the wild game animals dont seem near as scarey as other places. Even the yotes seem less wild.I woke up one morning stepped out of the house slammed the door and there was a yote sitting on my comfy tractor seat 20 yards from the porch. He didnt run untill I turned around to go get the gun.The farm I was raised up on in Pa.we see only three deer and there has been not one home built or any habitate removed. The problem is the public land that adjoins it and in the past hundreds of hunters each having multiple doe permits.I only found out this summer that the landowners that are around me in WV had a meeting when they found out where I was from and decided to watch me real close to see what kind of negative effects I had on the deer heard. No wonder I kept seeing orange vest at my borders just kind of watching me during the season. Could not figure what they were doing sitting there in deer season without a weapon. We have become very goods friends since that first year and they are just great country folks that love their deer.
