We have a lot less deer on our property these days. People that own land around us are obsessed with getting ‘The Big Buck’ so they make excellent habitats for that and all the deer end up over there - and out of my garden. Win/Win!
I last went deer hunting in 1980. Once was enough for me, though I did get a big, fat doe. ;)
One of our neighbors has another piece of property about an hour away, a small cabin on 30 ish acres. He hunts out there during the season. Every Christmas he brings us some of his venison jerky, the best stuff ever!
Everyone here can pretend that deer CWD is not an issue all they want. It’s spreading into Mississippi and Alabama. There have been human deaths even if they claim it can’t. Prion disease is no joke. Idk if your the same people kneeling to get the Vax or if you pushed back. Some counties now have 60-80% deer harvested with CWD. It’s in the environment and it doesn’t leave. I am no expert but it is spreading and it’s getting more dangerous. I like eating Barbie as much as the next redneck but this is an issue.
Ignore at your own ignorance. Just research it.
