RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
To give another example of the problem here in Maryland - One Saturday morning about a month ago, I got out early before the clean-up crews. I saw five dead deer on the roadside. Two of those were on the Maryland portion of the Washington DC beltway. Another two on Interstate 270 and the other on a heavily traveled two lane.
That's five cars that were damaged in one night and five chances for people to get killed since these were all 55 mph roads.
We're not taking offense at your question since it is a very legitimate one. I expect that you would see it our way if you were here in Maryland. Also, it's not an open season, it's special crop damage permits for specific properties.
