come on - you cannot honestly beleive a blanket statement like that??
like I have stated, I work with these "scum" and not once seen the permits being abused.
actually my uncle must be a scumbag, because he gets a few nuiscence permits from time to time (but don't let the fact that the deer ruined a 10 acre pumpkin field ($1000s of dollars)
your perception is basedon a small sample size, and therefore, IMO very scewed
Or you may have selectively not read this one either.
Come on be honest here. I realize there are "some" farmers that really need them and are put to good use. I certainly don't wish anyones livliehood substantially hurt over some deer. But let's be realistic and stop dodging the fact that MOST of them are attained for the pure sake of people abusing them and attaining them so they can put on more deer drives and have a good ole slaughter house of a time. My number of 80% may be a little high, but I'll bet I'm not too far off!!
