I have 30 acres rented to a farmer. When he plants soy beans the deer eat half. Corn, they eat a quarter. I have hunters on the land during the season but the damage is done before the season ever starts. Deer do a lot of damage. I can’t get fruit trees to get to three or four years if I don’t surround them with wire to keep the deer from destroying them. I planted a row of blackberries and they ate them to the ground. Many have no idea the damage done by an out of control deer and hog population.
Sometimes you get a shot of a deer on top of a yuge rolled bale of silage. They are mechanically wrapped in plastic but the deer jump on top, claw holes in the top for a meal, and then the holes lets in the moisture and rain, by spring its a $1000 bale of mold that no animal will eat.
I love venison dead and on my plate.
