Yeah, that's the problem. No one wants to let anyone hunt their ground. Even the ones that do are afraid their neighbors will disapprove.
As far as the insurance situation, I am pretty sure that was not for the average bowhunter. They were talking about a "professional" company coming in and cleaning them up, and they had to have major insurance. I can't remember the company, but this same group hunts deer off of airports and such. I am BIG TIME trying to find some one that will let me hunt there...
I was drawn for a hunt on conservation ground in St Louis county last fall, and man did we see the deer. In fact, right along I-44 in Fenton, there is the city dump, and I routinely see deer "dumpster diving" in the dump...I counted 55 deer in one field in that area 2 weeks ago, so yes, there is definetly a problem.
And so I ramble.....They talked about relocating the deer, but the problem with that is 90 percent of the deer die from stress anyway.
