Thanks alot all of you who have posted. After alot of sleepless nights & a few more phone calls i found out that over 180 deer were shot by these people over the fall red tag crop damage season. Im pretty pissed about it to say the least & im gonna spend the Christmas holiday getting my facts straight before going on with this matter. I really dont know what if anything i can do but at the very least i see a few cows takin any early departure from the morning feeding process if the PGC tells me that they are eligible for all the deer slaying that i've been told about. (provided all these stories are 100% correct)
Im the type of guy to drive right up in their barn & bust a cap in the head of the closest cow to the tailgate of the truck! I greew up with these people around us,,buyin up the farms when the locals had no money to keep goin, but i wont stand to see the deer herd take that kind of azzwhoop in one year! like i said before ,,it is nothin to see 30-50 deer a day (all different deer) & to only see 13 in 3 days just blows my mind. I really wanted the AR's to be a good thing even if it meant me goin without a shot for a few years,,i just love being there at home huntin with Dad & my brother,,but i think i would be just as at fault if i let this kinda thing go on without raising a stink. and to my knowledge,,,the PGC gives out the red tags to farmers who request them for crop damage & they do a study on how mant tags that farmer should recieve & then act accordingly,,,& i know my area (4d) cant loose that many deer in one season on one farm & strive to have a well managed herd

just my thoughts
