IS THE USDA TRYING TO SCARE OFF HUNTERS?

I don't know how they are being tested; the info I got from WU states that the USDA has a lock on the test. In addition we have been told in WI that we cannot get our deer tested, except via the DNR.

Thanks for the post. Very informative and I agree political pressure needs to be applied to the USDA on access to testing.

I'm not a deer hunter (varmit hunter only) but support those who like to hunt deer.

Any suggestions on where to go in northern KY for wild pigs?

I live in Lexington, KY (roughly the geographic center of the state) but cannot direct you to any locations in Kentucky where you can hunt pigs. However, there are places in Tennessee that specialize in pig (boar) hunting. Look in the American Rifleman magazine for ads. Hope this is helpful.

Don't worry, in PA the herd is thinned out pretty much every day -- only problem is we use cars and trucks and take em by the thousands. Just push em out of sight (charities won't take them anymore unless they're wrapped freezer-ready). I forget the #'s reported killed every year, but I'll bet it's under-reported, and it's still a big number.

I saw a doe several times this year with triplets (same doe). There's a soy bean field in the area, and I spoke with the guy who's farming it. He said they eat pretty well and he can't access all the fields to thin them. He can take deer anytime, legally, for crop damage.
