Default RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....

Without being here, you have no idea of what we face in this State. Every year it gets worse and every year we think we have a handle on it. The number of dead deer on the roadsides is ever-increasing and we're seeing it happen more often. It used to be prevalent during the rut; but, we're seeing a lot of dead deer along the roadsides all year long now.

Many of our liberal citizens have come up with all kinds of ideas on how to curb the problem. NONE have worked to any degree and the bulk of their ideas are VERY costly. It seems like many of them have 'come around' to allow hunting as one of the best methods. Problem is, it's almost too late. Their actions have allowed the deer herds to increase to the point of ridiculousness.

Some of our landlords graciously welcome us to their properties. The ones who have the biggest problems ARE in a position to make demands on our effectiveness. If not, others are standing in line to take our places.

I'll say it another way, you have to see it to believe it in some areas of our State.
