Killing 27 deer in one night is not crop damage control by any sort of the friggin imagination. Thats nothing more than one GREEDY S.O.B taking advantage of his circumstances!!!! I grew up on a farm in the same area that i wrote about earlier in this thread & i can tell you one thing for damn certain,,,my love for hunting & having deer to enjoy year around (not just during the hunting season) never would have let me do such a SORRY ASS thing as kill 27 deer in one night & write it off as doing the right thing for my livelyhood!!! what became of these 27 deer killed by this so called farmer???? I would think that such a man prolly shot em in the guts to run off & die for the so called "sport" of it. no way could i justify such an act as this,,nor would any sportsm,an or farmer that i know! If im not mistaken,,,isnt there something in the laws that says you can only kill as many deer for crop damage that youcan personally you for your own consumption?? This is the kind of antix that im talking about,,,how can I be held responsible for going out to my treestand & thinking to myself "Mike,,,theres a buck!!! Ok let me make sure that theres 3 pt's on 1 side,,yeap,,he's legal,,now wait until he stops so you get a good broadside shot,,, If killing 27 deer for "crop damage" in one night is justifiable by one farmer,,,than i may as well quit buying non-resident liscense every year & just shoot every deer that i see for two weeks that im home!

Now,,,where did all this 27 deer shot in one night figure into Alt's numbers???
Did this farmer call the game commission & tell themn that he just demolished the deer herd in his area & did they come to his "farm" & congratulate him on half of alts behalf?

Dude:
your last statement of "NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT" makes me wanna sit down to the loading bench & load one special round for my own head!
