Birth control pills for deer come in all calibers.

Jeez, shoot the damn deer and give the meat to the needy. Freakin’ bureaucrats.

illegal to use fertility control agents or chemical substances on deer

...but condoms are still OK?

[philled]

The House passed a bill Wednesday that makes it illegal to use fertility control agents or chemical substances on deer and other wildlife without a permit from the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. Violators could face a fine of up to $2,500 and two years in prison. The bill must pass the Senate and be signed by governor to become law.

Oh, deer! Does this mean that a young buck now needs a permit to purchase condoms?

Deer birth control pills.

The Humane Society of the United States has nothing to do with your local Humane Society, ASPCA or animal shelter. One of its purposes is to end hunting. They are a humane version of the Animal Liberation Front.

""Preference must be given to hunting as the primary method of controlling wildlife before a fertility control agent or a chemical substance is utilized," the amendment states."

Amen. Why spend huge amounts of money to control wildlife populations when hunters will pay for the privilege to hunt.

"Bow hunting would be too cumbersome to significantly reduce the deer population and, in his opinion, inhumane."

While bow hunting would not be the most efficient method to decrease population, it is not in any way inhumane unless you have a really bad bowhunter that wounds and does not recover the game. A razor sharp broadhead, properly placed, is extremely effective and not inhumane in the least.

What’s wrong with shooting them? There’s talk of food shortages and we have a food supply that is producing wonderfully... and the bureaucrats want to poison it with birth controlling chemicals?

What is wrong with venison?

[YOUGOTIT]

Bring in the mountain lions, panthers, wolves and grizzles that will limit the deer population and put the people who shut down the birth control in the open so these friendly creatures can see and touch their friends.

It would also keep wildlife contraceptives from being used “willy-nilly.”

that line just cracks me up! LOL

I’d hate to be the one to break it to the deer.

What about the Catholic deer?

[Sender]

But what about the deer’s right to choose? Aren’t we taking away their fundamental reproductive rights? Where are the deer feminists on this?

“Other than Fripp Island, the only permit the department issued for deer contraceptives went to Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island,”

Not surprising since as this is a liberal Yankee conclave. These people are anti-hunting, including bow-hunting, resulting in highway 278 being deer central after dark.

Other than the areas mentioned the hunters shoot them as fast as they can aim. I believe Hampton, County has the longest deer season in the country.
