ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Perhaps not your area, the Amish in this area are pathetic and less than desirable members of society and it goes beyond hunting incidents. They get every member of their family, license or no license and push property they have no business being on.

It's because they retained the rights to hunt and fish however they wanted on lands purchased from them by the US Govt. It was a legal contract, therefore the government has tohonor it.

Google search Amish Deception. Do a little research into this cult and you will find one of the greatest fleecing of the American public's minds. The truth behind this lifestyle is shocking. This is my opinion formed after a lifetime of interaction with the Amish. Yes, there are some great Amish folks- However in no way shape or form is the image of the Amish depicted in the media even remotely accurate. Am I writing this cause I know they can't respond because they don't embrace modern conviences like "computers?" No, I write this because I know they read this. Don't buy the ridiculous notion that this "peacefully passive" religion isn't involved in modern questionable behavior. What I have seen would be considered disturbing to a self proclaimed Poaching, Tresspassing, Drunk Atheist. I don't have anything against them- just don't buy the image that are struggling to uphold.

we have problems with them poaching in our area too. A few years back they finally got caught with a bunch of untagged deer. Since we don't have any amish areas, they're all coming from out of state.

I googled it. As a self proclaimed atheist, I was not in the least bit surprised. Was it because I wasnt poaching or drunk at the time? Im not sure.

Being from Amish country I can tell you, they are the most friendly most respectable people and most hardworking than anyone I know. When I lived in Norwalk Wi up on St Marys Ridge, we had alot of Amish around us. Our families pretty much grew up together. We never had any problems with letting them on our property and if they snuck in so what, big deal. They are hunters just like us. They do not go by the same laws as we do so Im not sure if they can be hit with a tresspassing fine or not. I have never had problem with the Amish as long as they respect the land and the landowners wishes they are more than welcome to hunt in my book.

Well being in law enforcemnt I can say there is good and bad in all!!! I can say the Amish on the farm where we hunt in Illinois have all been VERY respectfull and even QDM. Now I heard last year that the DNR here in Michigan on the Pere Marqutte river where we fly fish the salmon busted a group of 25 Amish for snagging salmon which is illigal and they also had way over the limit. Just guess it's where you are at and who they are!! Walt

I agree I seen a group of them hunting in Perry County, Pa. already and they got a few deer and none of them were tagged? I thought maybe it was something to do with who they were that they did not have to tag deer? I dont know? They were not worried about it the put the deer in the truck and headed back out in the woods . This was the 1st day of gun season years ago. They would shoot anything! The wifes would sit in the big black van and read all day while they piled up the deer. I seen it 1st hand and the game commission stopped too. So I thought it was something that they did different? This was like 15 years ago.
