Another Farmer Taking Advantage
My brother in-law hunts on his friends horse farm, which is next to a farm who has a farmer permit. Well after numerous calls to fish and wildlife, they came down to check this farm out. Would you believe this farmer has no crops planted what so ever. By law your suppose to bury the deer after you shoot them. Well they left the carcasses lying around, many of them with no heads. Hunting bucks in the summer, how nice. Anyway, the farm bureau yanked the farmers permit, and they are waiting to hear what charges are going to be filed. Chalk one up for the fish and wildlife!

It's about time, that is what adds fuel to the fire for the anti's. Still though it would not have come about if it weren't for honest and moral hunters performing their duty in reporting this heinous act. IMO it is as bad as poaching if not worse.

RE: Another Farmer Taking Advantage
Midwestxpress, I feel your pain. The farm that joins my hunting partners farm only shoots big bucks for crop damage. Imagine that, that one large antlered buck is hurting their crops while the dozens of does eat next to nothing. Sad thing is, totally legal......the one boy even bragged about it. He brought a 140 class buck in to a local bow shop I was at during archery season. I thought, wholly (profanity here) what a monster.....I asked, you shoot that with your bow......"Nope, shot him last night for crop damage.".....he saw it with his headlights when going home, got the rifle, went back out and shot it......I was furious.

Rob, I am almost positive that it is ILLEGAL to shoot antlered deer for crop damage in PA! That will be my homework assignment for tommorrow, to check with the game commision on this!
I know you cannot shoot bucks on red tag farms, or greentag.

Must be common practice in NJ.<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>.<img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>.We also had a problem with finding dead deer shot by our local farmer. He did not bury the carcass's and also killed bucks. We called F&G and an officer came out to see us on our hunting property. He walked around ,found evidence and told us the farmers permit would be revoked. CO's did a good job for us too MWX...
