Is "clearing out" different from "hunting"? In other words, if the game warden shows up and says, "Hey, it's not hunting season!" And you say, "No, we're not hunting, we're just clearing them out." And the warden says, "Oh, no problem. Can I have one when you're finished?"
Is that how it works?
It is one of the last remaining "property " rights. You own the land, and the deer are pests. Hunting allowance is seasonal for breeding purposes, etc. But, the pest problem is addressed when necessary. You also can't "hunt" at night. Read my post!
