I saw this being mentioned on another thread but didn't want to hijack it.
What are your thoughts on deer nuisance permits? I think I am the minority on here in that I think they do have a place. Hunting is a hobby, not my income.
I think where most hunters disagree is mainly two areas.
1. Waste. I agree with this one. They could use the meat to feed a lot of people, but who pays for it?
2. The argument of they should just let hunters hunt on their land. The problem is farmers want deer gone. They don't care if it's a 160" or spike. A lot of hunters won't shoot that spike. Also there are a lot of people that will rut up the fields, leave trash, and just not take care of it. I can see where a farmer would get tired of dealing with it.
So where is the balance? What's the solution?
