You let a hunter hunt and he’ll find a way. Lot of archery hunting is done from tree stands 15-25’ off the ground. An errant shot or a through and through goes into the ground. Lot better than on poster’s suggestion of introducing wolves into a urban/suburban environment.
I know archers who practice in urban homes - "deer stand" on the roof, target on the ground in the yard.
There you go. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
There are plenty of hunters here. There is no decent place to hunt. It hasn’t been practical for about twenty years.
You give lots of good information to anyone who has any brain cells working..Links were very informative...thanks
Even though we allow hunting on our farm we still have WAY too many deer. They seem to disappear during hunting season and come back when it's over.
I still would not want wolves introduced to my area. I would rather have hunters.
Sorry Tom Hawks. I just read your reply to another poster about why we were pinged.
We had a hunter hunt our farm year before last and he got two deer at one time. He shot one and the other one just stood there so he got it too. Our deer seem to be very bold, or stupid. Nobody got one last year. It’s hard to imagine a herd of 20 plus deer just disappearing into thin air for hunting season then returning as though nothing happened.
The entire southern half of Michigan is "shotgun only" for deer hunting.....
We need to hunt them no doubt there are way too many. But what a screwed up area that part of the mountain West with all the California reject white liberals bringing their stupidity with them. I feel sorry for the natives being displaced by morons which are a bigger problem than wolves.
Another patently ignorant statement. Hunting season is in the fall/winter for the sake of the game rearing of young in the spring/summer. It has nothing to do with agriculture. When dear become so plentiful as to be a nuisance, it's time to brink back spring hunts. Your state is over run with deer because your game department lacks the gnads to increase the hunting to the point necessary to get the population under control. That's a political problem and wolves will make it worse. It's obvious you continue to argue because you can't admit to being wrong. Have a nice day.
They could have controllers sitting at desks handling them just like they would work a predator drone.
I think too many here are squeamish when it comes to hooking up animals to wires and computer chips ~ but there's no reason you can't use some of the existing technology used on lab rats.
We could do the same thing with pit bulls.
