Deer are thick and Shelby count doesn't allow rifle hunting I believe.

Why not spray the cotton with something that tastes bad to deer?

Totally legal and justified by the farmer. Deer are nothing more than pests in a good part of the U.S., little more than wild cattle.

Shotgun. Probably not a danger to nearby residents. Darned waste of good meat, though.

deer= rats with antlers...

dumbasses... wait till they get a nice outbreak of Lyme's disease and want the government to "do something"..like kill the deer that carry the vector..

typical lib feel bad story.

By the way that makes 40 deer that have died since Bush declared an end to hostilities in Iraq.

The only thing I see any problem with is that if they have hungry people in town, no reason to waste good meat. Sometimes a thinning of the herd is needed to save the base population from starving. If we don’t thin, other predators will move in to do the job, then libs will be up in arms about why are the predators here? Maybe they could then a few libs too(sarc)?

You’d rather the buzzards starved?

The only thing he did wrong was leaving the carcasses to rot. Give them to the food bank if nothing else.

So you're recommending that we Super-Size the buzzards?

Deer in close proximity to man, are simply huge rats with antlers and a hazard to drivers.

True. We(Hunt Club) always donate any extras.

Deer now are a nuisance in some areas. Same with Nonmigratory Canadian Geese.

I get so tired of people who just don’t understand nature.

They’re concerned about DEAD DEER attracting predators? That’s a laugh. LIVE DEER attract them just as much.

What about people who have to drive on those roads with that huge deer population?

What is the matter with those people?

“Why not spray the cotton with something that tastes bad to deer?”

Looks like he did, lead.

Its nice to see that there is a comprehensive wildlife management plan in the area.

Why not just leave the guy alone and let him shoot the deer?

..."To me it's inhumane. ...

Since deer aren't human wouldn't it be "indeerane"?
