Maryland continues to embarass itself in it's attempt to be the "first" in yet another attempt to pander to those that hate hunting and/or guns. I bowhunt a lot in areas where neighborhoods abut wooded areas and deer have overtaken the area. I'm quiet and discreet and the neighbors don't mind what I'm doing (I do have their permission). The article says that the residents requesting this "remedy" will be the ones to foot the bill. Seems very costly - esp when they need to revaccinate to accomplish any real advantage. How long before the taxpayers get asked to shoulder this?

I think a tax on MD residents to foot the bill for this wouldn't fly easily. Resistance would differ from county to county. The only county I see amenable to that would be Montgomery (where I do most of my hunting). Perhaps gonacon tainting meat will be enough of a reason for it not take off. Wishful thinking...
