I would invite you to bowhunt my backyard, if my town would let me.
Two years ago, there was a midge-borne disease killing deer, dead deer everywhere.
Dead animal removal companies were charging $800 to remove a carcass. There are cheaper methods.
Our deer are pretty healthy so far in this part of the state. I think the number 1 killing of deer here are cars & trucks. You cannot drive for a half mile and not see a dead one in a ditch. We have some of the biggest buzzards I’ve ever seen, and crows so fat they can hardly get off the ground.
It’s a problem around here too. What we do is wrap a noose around it’s legs and drag it out into a field. Let the buzzards and other critters dine. Otherwise, by the time the county gets around they start to stink pretty bad. Close to a road on a warm sunny day with the windows open, the smell of fresh air, then a stop sign and a rotting carcass. Puke city.
