I went home to Clinton Co. the 1st week of rifle season & much to my surprise i saw 13 deer the 1st 3 days. Usually i see anywhere from 30-50 deer a day & I got a chance to speak with the neighbors before i left & they informed me that the Amish really put the smash to the deer this summer & fall for crop damage. Im not living there so im not sure how true this is but it kinda upsets me a bit to hear that their herding deer to a corner of the fields that has an 8' fence & just shootin everything in sight. Does anyone know if these people have to follow an antler restriction while shooting deer for crop damage or are they above that law as well? I know during the red tag season in late summer & early fall it's does only with a valid hunting liscense for us regular people but since they are exempt from liscenses due to making their living off the land does that give them the right to shoot anything. I had high hopes for the AR's for our land but if this is the kinda thing thats gonna go on in that area of clinton co. it's kinda useless to have restrictions.

any thoughts or answers would be greatly appreciated
Mike
