Anyone who doesnt already know that pgc and the deer plan have been guided by tree huggers for the last several years has their head in a very dark place.;) These biodiversity nuts should stick to their bird watching and stay the **** outta deer management.

I didn't say that you did . You have proven you don't know the regs so you just keep on blabbering about nothing.

I'll take one too. To skin and cut up a deer has gone up to $95 this year and my son in N.Y. loves deer meat. I still have deerburger left fromlast year, don't really care for the stuff, I'm more into beef and ham steaks.

Funny stuff about pgc advertising for audubons birdwatching forays. A much more benign act than when they dictate our wildlife management;

I donno bluebird, maybe we outta join the christmas bird count. Would give us a few possible courses of action that we could find enjoyable. When they ask how many birds we saw, we could hold up ONE particular finger (LOL) or we could say about 20 times what we actually saw to prevent the clowns from blaming too few birds on too many deer, just as they do already on a continual basis.

I found this in another audubon article on the topic of the bird count you mentioned in original post.

"Each of the citizen scientists who brave snow, wind, or rain, to take part in the Christmas Bird Count make an enormous contribution to conservation. Audubon and other organizations use data collected in this longest-running wildlife census to assess the health of bird populations - and to help guide conservation action."

a dozenless birds this christmas and our allocations will rise by 5k per management unit! (LOL)[:'(]

Personally , putting bird feeders on our stands has made being on stand much more enjoyable. It is interesting to observe the birds so close that you can feel the wind from their wings. It really makes the time fly in comparison and it's interesting to see how the feeding patterns change with the weather. Unfortunately I haven't made a correlation between bird feeding activity and deer sightings.

BTW, I am not participating in the count. I don't even like counting points on a buck to see if it's legal.

RE: What A Hoot
 

No, I don't shoot any of those birds.
