[QUOTE="Atchman2, post: 5741148, member: 10762"] Since I have had a Depredation permit, it only works for one property. The thing is, from what I understand, it was for any legal means of taking. You could even bait and shoot over bait as the idea was to reduce the population. I know this because the two other hunters that hunted there were TWRA agents! They lived really close to the property and we were all just helping the landowner. I think they killed two deer with a crossbow and I killed four during muzzleloader season. (I honestly think you could have shot at night, but I felt that wasn't a good idea in the middle of a subdivision). Now to be fair that was 13 years ago and things may have changed. Those few were enough and the population seems to be under control. The big thing that happened was one of the neighbors used to feed the deer which drew them into that small area. Well that mean the area was overgrazed and they started eating flower beds and gardens. Plus they were a true road hazard as you couldn't drive through neighborhood without stopping. The neighbor has moved out and the deer have reverted to more natural patterns. The thing is the permit ended at the end of the legal hunting season. There was really no reason to keep it going since the number of deer incidents went down to pretty much a normal level. [/QUOTE]
