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.
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)?
Deer in close proximity to man, are simply huge rats with antlers and a hazard to drivers.
Since deer aren't human wouldn't it be "indeerane"?
This is a test.
This afternoon, I am not making this up, our house took a HUGE lightening strike.
We lost, again I...
I’m not making this up
..two computers, one was my home network server.

...the ceiling fan in our living room will not turn off.
So I got this portable computer and it’s so old the only browser that will work with it is Opera.
You can’t make this stuff up.....
I guess the farmer had grown tired of “those cotton pickin deer.”
>> “Our first concern was the brutality of killing those animals,” said Arthur Wolff, who owns property on Bethany Road, a shady street that dead ends into the sprawling cotton farm.
Bet you anything Farmer Ciarloni was there long before this Wolff wuss.
Oh dear!
The other day a co-worker complained about the hunting of deer in our area. She blamed the deer problems on “sprawl”, but I pointed out that the population of deer in our area is 6000% higher than it was 50 years ago, whereas the human population has only grown by about 15%.
Never whack more than you can pack ping.
Good for him! Given the number he shot, I'm sure thats why he didn't decide to have them processed and perhaps given to shelters.
Nevertheless, I support this guy wholeheartedly........
I have heard that there are states that will allow a farmer to kill deer that are destroying crops, but he’s not allowed to process it once he kills it. In fact, no one’s allowed to have it.
What a waste.
I wonder if there is such a requirement in Tenn.
Much ado about nothing. The excessive deer population is a problem and at least someone is trying to take care of the situation. The coyote population is also a real problem in this area. The farmers in my area don’t even plant some fields because if they do, the yield is sparse do to the damage done by the deer.
