Speaking of "Hunter Apathy", Don.....the fact that the above things YOU mention doesn't bother you.....speaks volumes. The NIMBY (not in my back yard) latent pacifist attitude (and I'm not making fun of you, believe me....I'm pointing out something that is going to get worse and worse) is contagious, I'm sorry to say.
East coast happenings. Probably also hunter apathy, not enough interest in the bowhunt from locals, so the city hires sharpshooters. Who knows,they still can't hunt on Sundays in some states. West of the Mississippi, different points of view and outlook on everything.
Don't read anything into my posts. I mean EXACTLY what I write.

I'm just going off of past posts, Don. There are PLENTY of hunters who don't care what happens in other states.....as long as it doesn't affect their season....their quarry.....their state.

The use of affordable contraception through out the US in order to control deer populations is going to happen no matter what we want. It will eventually make sense, as it will at some point be cost effective, and it will be implemented, not only in Iowa, but all over.

Cost effective from the stand point of being affordable enough, in leu of hunting for the majority of the population to get behind. About 80% of our society is either anti-hunting or not interested. Before you jump on my "80%" as well, it may not be the precise number, but clsoe from what I recall.

RE: Iowa considers Contraceptive?
I won't argue with your #'s RL, I don't know them either. How does the state make up the billions lost in revenue from huntersand how does the state present higher taxes to the already tax burdeoned citizen? Are we going to birth control the raccoons, possums, coyotes, turkeys, and other game to keep their #'s healthy so that disease does not take its' toll and to protect property owners and farmers from property loss and crop damage? Do we put this contraceptive in the entire water system so that all animals are insured a dose?

Like HCH said, someone has to pay for it, I know I will vote no to any new taxes in my area.

You make very solid points. Obviously contraception is not realistic now, due to cost and effectiveness, but I was just expressing that when/if contraception becomes "affordable enough" it will get used. Maybe more so in urban areas,where many folkswould prefer not to have hunters/sharp shooters hunting in their neighborhood, but still need to get numbers down.
