"I have quit deer hunting. I don't enjoy the experience as much as I used to. I get much colder much quicker anymore. I also have grown tired of eating venison. I don't take any game I don't intent to eat."

Same here...it's ducks, pheasants and wild turkeys from now on.
Here in CT there is just no "sport" in deer hunting anymore.
I can go out to my back porch and throw rocks at them munching on the apples fallen out of my apple trees.
I can go out at dusk any night now... and drive around for 1/2 hour or less near my home and absolutely HAMMER a deer or two with my truck without even halfway trying. There are just so many of them around here it is a serious road hazard. Why waste a bullet when I have a chunk of 6 inch channel iron for a front bumper.

I got around the cold issue by building permanent styrofoam insulated enclosed elevated hunting stands. A small kerosene heater, even a candle keeps you warm all day. I built sliding Plexiglas windows that slide open. The huts are 5ft square, just enough to draw a bow. Build them in the spring, and the deer will get used to them by the time hunting season starts.
Of course you need your own land for such things, or a good friend with land. You could make them smaller (just for rifles) and portable, but you'd need to set them up in your favorite spot months before the season opened so that the deer would get used to them.

"Why waste a bullet when I have a chunk of 6 inch channel iron for a front bumper. A nice clean shot is better. Who'd want to eat meat that is all bloody? Yuk! May as well just pick up the road kill.

If you thought deer hunting stirred controversy around the state, wait until the DNR starts strafing Wisconsin from helicopters or hiring professional killers who look like Jack Palance. It might even be enough to make us miss guys named Clem swarming through the woods hell-bent on practicing recreational animal decimation. But maybe not.
Why not just fly in a tribe or two of "indigenous pipples" from the Amazon rain forest? Everyone knows it's perfectly all right for "indigenous pipples" to kill and eat animals. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because liberals consider them not fully evolved, and therefore still animals themselves.
That's the "enlightenment" for you; it makes a punching-bag out of its own inherited religious traditions but creams in the pants at the thought of little brown people performing human sacrifice to appease the spirits.

Venison harvested from a vehicle impact likely won't taste as good because of the internal organs being traumatically smashed into each other and releasing chemicals within the body. A good shot with a rifle/slug gun followed by proper field dressing yields the best results for the freezer! ~ Blue Jays ~

Golly, when we entrust wildlife management in this state to a pack of yahoos who go up north to drink beer, play poker and talk about women's body parts, how could we possibly go wrong? Better than sitting at a cocktail party, speaking in effeminate voices, sipping wine and discussing how evil Republicans are.
To: claptrap
Yes, my party was hassled last Monday. They insisted that we open our gun cases and demonstrate our weapons were empty even though we said we were done hunting. The one ranger looked like Garrison Keillor, with hemmoroids.

And adding to your post the flagrant fascism of the Conservation dept., USDA and Humane Society and we're ALL screwed!
Funny how when it comes to Chronic Wasting they never mention the fact it is caused by eating forage that has succomed to months and months of drought conditions, nothing to do with hunting.
At the time the CWD 'crisis' was discovered WI had suffered years of horrid drought much like TX OK and KS recently.

"hit a deer in a car"
Yes, but when I told the deer to get out of the car, he refused. Well naturally I had to hit him.

It's been dry (anecdoatal) the last 2 or 3 years, but the "crisis" predated that by a year or three. The draught connection isn't one I've been aware of.

Funny you should infer that. Joel wrote for the Milwaukee Urinal in the early 70s doing music reviews on the Green Sheet. Same tone.
Later, I saw an article where he's the fearless leader of the local gay rights movement, honored for using his writing to advance gay causes. He despises Christians even more than hunters.

And someone who has hit both a deer and a wild turkey in their car!

In most areas of the country we now have an over population of whitetail deer. The easiest way to control this problem, and it is a problem, is to allow hunters more than their normal quota of animals in hunting season.

Golly, when we entrust wildlife management news reporting in this state to a pack of yahoos Leftists who go up north to brie tasting parties to drink beer Chardonnay, play poker Liberal lying games and talk about women's men's body parts, how could we possibly go wrong? There. That sounds much more accurate of what is really going on in Wisconsin!

I think Chronic Wasting Disease is something liberal writers must have had in college.
