[QUOTE="Grill-n-man, post: 4550689, member: 12966"] [b]Re: Farmer depredation[/b] 1st of all unless you are the farmer thats doing the growing, harvesting, spending the money, paying the bills, and counting the year end dividends to see if you made enough money to continue on then there is no way that anyone can tell if the depredation permits are needed and justified simply by "looking" at a crop field. In case it has been forgotten or simply not know, farming is very hard and expensive work and any loss hurts. 2nd its their land and their livelihood and they are the ones that make the rules and if lucky enough to be given permission to hunt then its their rules that need to be followed. Simple follow the rules or move on. 3rd yes letting an animal that can be consumed go to waste is very wasteful. But get off the farmers back and get on TWRA's. Last I checked its TWRA that says let em lay not the farmer. 4th It's TWRA's decision to issue the permits, if there is not a valid reason for the permit then why was it issued. I think there is alot out there that need to try farming and have the end yield determine how much their bank account has in it, how much food goes on their table, how many new toys their kids get, and so on. Bet if your livelihood was determined on what deer, drought, insects, etc left you at harvest time your take on things would be different. Oh and where do you think the money comes from to help these farmers out for crop damage? Could it be tax dollars? And just who do yall think pays those tax dollars? Oh and just for giggles how many out there know where the corn, beans, lettuce, etc that we buy off the shelf comes from? Could it be from a farmer? Until deer and other animals start driving tractors and picking fields I'm going to have to side with the farmers. And to the farmers out there, hats off to yall for all the hard work and countless hours yall put in so me and my family can enjoy so much on our table. [/QUOTE]
