My wife's friend was over last night. She said her Dad owns a bunch of land about an hour away and just received unlimited permits for crop damage deer. She told us that he wants someone reliable to harvest the deer but wants them gone! She also said he didn't want any young punks on his land. Well, I guess there is an advantage to being in your mid forties. I advised her that because of obligations I couldn't do much until September first, but could find another friend to help me rid his land of such vermin. I also told her because of safety reasons, I would only do it if I had sole rights to his property. She promised to talk to him and let my wife know by the weekend. (I'll be in Canada fishing) She also said he counted as many as three hundred in a herd this winter in one of his fields. OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY! I can use any means to kill these deer and am sure I'll have to use a firearm part of the time, but would like to really gain a lot of experience with my bow.

I also know some of you have crop damage permits. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
