You need to get rid of this guy.

Stop Fall Bowhunting

Bad, bad, bad...

RE: Maryland!
 

Did you notice that he stated that he is a "non-hunter"? Um. So, wouldn't this mean that he has NO idea of how it REALLY happens?

This makes me sick. [:'(]

"studies have shown"

I bet he eats steaks and lobster, doesn't he?[:@]

RE: Maryland!
 

who wants to take out the contract on him?

J/K lol but he is off line. a arrrow shot in the wrong spot will do basically the same as a bullet in the wrong spot - atleast as far as the deer is concerned. lol. either can cripple.

we need to use this guy as target practice

RE: Maryland!
 

Well if you read the comments, he got tore up pretty good. Problem is, you can't do that with the paper version...

RE: Maryland!
 

This is the kind of crap the MD Dem's are constantly pulling. And that paper is a terrible, yellow rag!!! If your name is O'Malley you can do no wrong, no matter how wrong your actions and policies really are.

What is strange is that MD is a pretty DNR friendly state... But that was before O'Malley......

RE: Maryland!
 

Don't Know what to say. . .

RE: Maryland!
 

To quote Bugs Bunny... "What a maroon!"

RE: Maryland!
 

It really stinks people like him get to write such crap publicly misinforming non hunters. At least he is getting hammered in the reply posts. He's a PETA ringer.

I'll concede thathe's partly right, archery isn't for the faint of heart. No doubt.However, something tells me that his opinion would change if, instead of Joe Schmoe bowhunting quietly behind Lamp's happy little subdivision - there were 3 wild rednecks back there beyond the edge of the yards,turning it loose with .300 Ultra Magnums, rattling his windows, and scaring the bejesus out of his wife andkids at 6:40 a.m.

Either that, or maybe paying several (increasingly expensive) deductibles per year for smashing deer 3-4xin his new CRV - that could change his whole outlook on things, too. Maybe even total the thing, or blow the airbags in his face...

Maybe Mr. Lamp has never seen a doe mangled in an auto collision with it's intestines hanging out of it's rear end. Maybe it's never crossed his mind that a deer could roll up onto the hood of a Cobalt, and break two of its legs, and actually crawl away from the scene. That's not a pretty scene. Those are the realities of whitetail overpopulation in suburban areas. No denying it. Something's gotta kill 'em - it's either gonna be a hunter or an SUV.

Either way, he's entitled to his opinion.

RE: Maryland!
 

and yet strangely enough out of the same paper?

RE: Maryland!
 

I hate when people write something with no fact to support their remarks. i posted a response and tried to be more PC than a lot of the responses posted.

All these people want deer and yet they don't want them in their yard or on their roads. What a shame.

Imoved to MD 7 yrs ago and it's so backward compared to PA it's frightening.

RE: Maryland!
 

I was the one that posted down under "what" on responses to this tool.

I think Patty and I are going to be friends:D

RE: Maryland!
 

Never happen!!! To much money is being made off bow hunters...

RE: Maryland!
 

Prime time for not only learning but emphasizing the maturity it takes to be a bow hunter.


The maturity of a bow hunter is one of the highest even though we are portrayed as being one of the lowest. We do the dirty job that others cannot even think about. We provide food for our families that often they have no idea the job we perform on their behalf. They sit down to a free range, very health meal without the slightest clue the life that was taken to provide it. We do and have to live with it. The bow hunter gives the animal all the chances of escape. We do not have the advantage of long range. We must get into their core area to even have a chance and in that area they are king. The bow hunter deserves a great deal more respect than they get.

i commented:


Your information is incorrect and very biased. In fact, advances in technology-todays bows- are equipped well beyond what is need to kill godzilla, more or less a deer. Why dont you cry about how many insects die on car windshields ever second! Another fact, in the last century, deer populations have increased dramatically. The most important reason is the protection of does as the whitetail recovered from habitat loss. They basically marketed hunting to help the deer population increase over 500%. Whitetail Wisdom. "Dealing with Does". Larry Weishuhn. 2005
SOOOOOOOO....since habitat loss was one of the key factors that was killing off the deer population in the early 1900s, what do you think is the main problem today??? In actuallity, hunters are helping the population thrive through buying licenses and other hunting gear-such as bows and arrows. However, hunters are going backwards today more than ever do to environmental development-buildings, communities, roadways, etc. Hunting deer,more specifically, bowhunting, is one of the smallest-if not the smallest- influences on deer population. You forgot to add predators (food chain), deer collisions from vehicles, diseases, and violent winters. In fact, YOU are helping kill off the population Mr. Joe Blow through building the very house you live in-eliminating habitat for both deer and other animals. YOU ARE CRUEL!
HMMMM...for someone who is suppose to be highly educated, we can certainly see you didnt take whitetails 101 in college. Maybe you can pull strings in your community college to offer the class. Then you can do research and teach it:) have a nice day.

RE: Maryland!
 

Mr Lamp, I use the term Mr. rather loosely, was appointed a few years back by the past Governor, Glendening or whatever his name was. The day he was appointed he vowed to do away with bowhunting and would fight for the elimination of all hunting. He was appointed to the board as a voice for the opposition. At first he was quite vocal but the voices of the hunting community and their supporters calmed his butt a bit. Maryland is the Pinko Liberal State of the country. It's the Nirvana for the Kennedys, Rosie O'donnells, etc. It's really a wonder we have hunting there. Were it not for the work of organized hunting groups and the NRA it would have disappeared a few years back. How else can I put it, there's a bunch of AZZZZZZZZZZZZZZholeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss runnin' the place. I got out before they locked the dang place down.

David, as bad as Md is, NJ is worse.

RE: Maryland!
 

The sad thing is that there will always be somebody just like him to take his place . What ever happened to the days when everyone just minded their own biz and went on in their own little world somebody has to always be knocking someone if aint hunters getting picked on its something about guns and gun owners , those who do and dont hunt , PETA is now trying to stop fishing whats next jeesh . But they always say whats so great about hunting a dumb animal ha ha ha TRY IT sometime fool ha ha ha

RE: Maryland!
 

A non-hunter on a wildlife commision is like an atheist running our church. How do we let this craziness happen. The Maryland hunters need to lobby strongly and quickly for his resignation and removal. Ultimately, the Governor is responsible for this man being in this position. So, the Governor needs to have his cage rattled(politically).

RE: Maryland!
 

I like to think I'm fairly intelligent, but am I the only one who didn't see a point in this article? This writer was all over the place! Apparently there are only two choices left to us:run a deer-fighting ring or just live with them being over populated. Maybe I just need more coffee....

RE: Maryland!
 

After reading Joe Lamp's editorial, he does not sound to "bright". Sorry, just had to put that in there.

My meaning is that he said he is the only member on the panel that is standing up for the deer. The others are farmers and hunters. Surely he must understand the need to control the deer population. Yet he does not offer a solution for maintaining same. Someone took "Bambi" to heart as a youth and failed to realize that it was fiction. Keep up the fight brothers and sisters because we are going to have to deal with this forever.

RE: Maryland!
 

Maybe Mr. Lamp and Disney should join forces to educate the non-hunting public. Their facts seem to be in alignment. I wonder if Mr. Lamp is a vegetarian or just a hypocrite?

RE: Maryland!
 

Didn't the college professor say the season starts Friday? I think the prof needs to get a new fact checker. I know it happens but I have never seen a deer running around with an arrow sticking out of it. I think more deer are probable killed throughout the year by vehicles. So many people want to be the "voice" for animals and since I probable spend a whole lot more time in their habitat I'll make an educated unbiased bleat. "We deer wish we could thank all our benefactors that wish to end hunting, but we must decline. A more pressing concern for the deer nation is the staggering loss of habitat during the latest real estate boom. Did you think you see us along the interstate because we like to play in traffic? Eventually you guys are gonna have to try and import all those veggies in your salads, because I can tell you one thing on the front lines things ain't looking good. We deer are use to being hunted, development has gotten rid of allthe four legged higher food chainers. Take away any agenda you have and answer one question for us deer. What possess the greater threat to deer, the familiar predator that helps keep the balance between herd and habitat, or the relentless encroachment of liberals,conservatives,Republicans,Democrats,PETA members, NRA members, mankind. If it were legal for us deer to carry weapons we wouldn't waste our ammo on the guy we smelled 20 feet up that tree, but we surely would take a crack at shooting the tires out on that bulldozer."

Rats are in the office time to get them out.

RE: Maryland!
 

There has been nearly 300 murders in philadelphia this year to date.

There is a war that our country is involved in, and our men are getting killed every day.

People are staving all over the world every day.




My point is if he needs a crusade, imo he could find a much more deserving cause.
