The priest who has been heckled and vandalized for hunting deer to help feed the hungry
This holy hunter probably never expected to need police protection.
Police in Wisconsin have spoken out to stop the criminal harassment of a priest who has been heckled and vandalized for hunting deer, to help feed the hungry, on the private grounds of the 160-acre abbey where he resides.
The De Pere Police Department says that the harassment toward Father Jordan Neeck has stopped since the Norbertine priest filed a police report and authorities shared the story with local media last week, WBAY reports. However, the threat is still concerning.
Neeck enjoys bow hunting, and has harvested four deer on the sprawling property of St. Norbert Abbey so far this fall, donating the deer to a local food bank to help feed families in need. The priest is a licensed hunter with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR,) and has had the abbey’s permission to hunt on its grounds since 2016, as the Green Bay area has an overpopulation of deer.
Though the clergyman has never been criticized for his passion for the outdoor sport in years past, he summed up the 2020 season as “a year of many problems.” The trouble reportedly began as soon as he started hunting this fall.
“First hint was probably opening weekend of bow hunting in which people have approached me and said, ‘Shame on you’ and I’m thinking I’m on my own private property, given permission to do this and following all the regulations provided by the Wisconsin DNR,” Neeck told WBAY last week. “I’ve checked the City of De Pere regulations and ordinances, and Village Allouez ordinances, everything I’m doing is legal.”

One of my great great grandfathers was named Nimrod (early 1800’s).
Reading comprehension is wasted on some I see.
rats with antlers ...this year you could kill all the doe rats you could shoot.
Huge sport in Pheasants in our state.
My old farm was near a Prison Farm and one of the things they raised were Pheasants for release prior to the hunting season. Numerous farm operations raising them throughout the state; we have Elk farms, too.
Ring Neck Pheasants weren’t native to Wisconsin, but introduced in 1800 for sport. Only a few parts of our state have the natural habitat they need to thrive, hence the reason so many are raised here and released for hunting.
I usually see three or four males each year; escapees, LOL! They’re very pretty and very vocal. :)

There is no sadder sight than seeing deer stumbling around, kicking at ice and snow trying to find corn stubble to eat during a hard winter. Or the carcasses laying in the field. So the deer struggled to find food until they collapsed.
I’m in the camp that says he probably shouldn’t have posted it all over FakeBook. He invited trouble.
I have a good friend that is an amazing Black Bear hunter (as well as Beau being one, of course) and he was literally ‘shamed’ off of FB for sharing videos of hunts with his dogs. He finally just deleted everything. A shame, really. So many sports are DYING due to self-appointed PC Nazis.
Shoot, Butcher, Share (the meat) and Shut up! ;)
as the Green Bay area has an overpopulation of deer.
The anti-hunters and the eco-terrorists are some of the lowest lowlifes on the planet.
Here in OK...we don't have check in anymore....It's all on-line.
FWIW-

Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.”
Haters should just write letters to Deer Abbey.
I hope they mistake the heathen enviro-twinkie for a ten point buck when they locate him. *blam*
I dunno.
Personally, I get sad when somebody’s orchard dies ‘cuz the bloody deer ate the fruit trees’ bark.
Or when you have one come through your windshield late at night.
Not the first person to make that mistake.
Yes, a lot of them stocked, but they are native. From the DNR site, During the 2017-18 season, an estimated 42,450 hunters pursued pheasants, spending 418,890 days afield and harvesting 301,490 pheasants.
Some tragic hunting “accidents” are not uncommon...mistook him for a deer, etc!😎
“...greenies go out searching for hunters......”
569,203 licensed deer hunters in WI this year. Go harass them...pilgrim!😎
And when it comes to observing tradition what are the 12 days of Christmas ? It’s this;
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th from my The First Book Of Moses poetry page
On This “Little Christmas”
January 6th
Once Upon a Time and not too long ago
The Twelfth Night Of Christmas
was celebrated with a ball
From the Day of Babes Birth
and the 11 thereafter
kith and kin were paid a visit
and friends from far and near
once were paid a call
So on this day I pray in the spirit that this date recalls
Let the gift of homage of kings gain
in the spirit of the days this season yet remain
ere it wane
Be thine Blessings Great
and misfortunes thee none befall
This poem is an abbreviated version from my websites poetry page which shows how the Christmas season was observed by Catholics in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood during depression times and WWII.The page also lists the differences from traditional Roman Catholic Christmas observance and the present after Vatican 2.Which eliminated a period of mortification during the advent period of fast and abstinence or reducing emphasis on observing feast days such as Immaculate Conception December 8th and the 12th day of Christmas known as the Epiphany January 6th.Resulting in listing Epiphany no longer on most calendars because of the decision to observe Epiphany to a Sunday following Christmas the 25th and New Years which was then known as the feast of Circumcision later named The Presentation when Jesus was presented in the Temple .
