Hmm ~ Virginia fish and game are kind of loose compared to other states, plus we have OPEN CARRY as well as SHALL ISSUE ~ which might have something to do with that. On the other hand I'm talking about erradicating vermin that look like deer. Hunting seasons are for areas where people have crops to protect. Here, the decorative gardening is the problem ~ deer without food don't reproduce you know.

Wolves still look like a reasonable alternative AND, best of all, they'll force those gardeners who have been feeding the deer indoors!

That statement is ridiculous. Hunting seasons are for hunting as a sport, for the taking of game for those that enjoy consuming it and for controlling game populations.

If your game populations are out of control, it's because the your game department isn't encouraging the hunting of game appropriately and neither is your community.

Bragging about your state's gun laws is specious, since gun rights are about self protection, not hunting. Start hunting and eating venison. Hang some deer hides on your fence line. Every doe you eat is one that doesn't breed. It looks like you're allow to bag five or six deer a year, so do it.

No matter what course of action that anyone offers other than introducing wolves, you scoff at. You keep coming back to the belief that allowing humans to hunt the deer is a bigger problem than bringing in more wolves. Why is it you really want the wolves brought in?

Why are you so hell bent against allowing humans to hunt the deer?

I can only come up with one answer, you sir are a bona-fide anti hunting Liberal. If not then you are at least a full fledged animal loving, tree hugging, wolf worshiping Rhino, who has no problem with the possibility that little children will be killed by these animals.

I only say that, because if you allow wolves to be brought in to do what human hunters can do, then you are anti-hunting and pro wolf. In my neck of the Texas woods, that makes you a liberal.
