RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

Len,
The farm is 200 acres with about 75 acres of woods, kind of shaped like the country of Italy, right in the middle of it.
I guess that ASAT 3-D suit (that Len now exclusively sells in MD) is really working out for you;):D

RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

Thanks for answering my questions guys. I wish I were there to help out.
Good luck,

WK

RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

I will be hunting on a crop damage permit soon. Will butchers handle deer this time of the year? How about the farmers and hunters feeding the hungry program? I can only shoot five on my permit and I am looking for ways to utilize them.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Steve:

I haven't really found anyone to handle mine. Then again, I butcher them for myself or give them away whole.

I'm sure 'regular' butcher shops will handle them for you. As far as those who do deer butchering on a 'seasonal' basis, they're probably not open.

I don't know how FHFH handles the DMP issue. They don't have enough funds right now to handle the regular season, so that may be your answer. Ask CJ Winand. If you don't know how to get in touch with him, let me know.

Hope this helps and good luck.

BTW, when you fill your 5 tags, you can usually apply for 5 more.;)

RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

Why do tree huggers think they need to live in the woods? Don't they know they're doing more damage than any hunter ever could?

1. destruction of habitat in order to build their $500K+ house, drive, roads, ect...

2. see #1

RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

I live in Roanoke Va. and we too have damage permits but they are limited to the amount of damage. Fish and game will come out and assess the damage and issue you tags for how many deer he thinks you can kill to minimize the damage. I had the privalage to help out a hay farmer a few years back because they were tearing up his hay and that was how he made his living. No hay meant no money and no food for his family. So guys if you ever need help let me know I am about 5 hours from yall and would take one for the team and give up a few days to help LOL

RE: Sometimes it isn't the hunter....
 

Well Davidmil, if the hunt was too much for you let me know...I can try to tone it down for you!:D;)
Either way we need to post some results...I just got a call from the land owner...he wants to see fewer deer...soon.;)[:o]

Mlaubner,

How many have you all taken so far this spring?
