[QUOTE="Headhunter, post: 5866868, member: 652"] Why? It is their land and their crops and their financial well being that the deer are causing harm to. Actually I don't even think they should have to get a depredation permit anymore. Especially since the TWRA is trying the best it can to kill all the deer anyways. And the long time the TWRA can take to respond to a request is not good either. A farmer could lose thousands of dollars waiting for the TWRA to do something. I know of some that have had problems with hunters and they do not want another hunter on their property but they want the deer gone and I support them. Hunters need to get off the "high horse" and realize deer are not the king of animals, actually no animal is, and if a farmers ability to just break even is affected much less make some kind of a profit, then kill the deer (or most any animal) and kill them as fast and safely as possible. The TWRA is the last agency who should have a say in what farmers do anymore. For the most part the TWRA has handcuffed the game wardens (in reference to the recent issue with private land, which I agree with, any law officer should have to have a warrant for the most part to be on private land) but the TWRA needs to take care of public land FIRST before they even think about worrying about private land. It is sad to see what it happening to the public lands and how the TWRA basically does NOTHING! It is getting worse every year! And I for sure hate it when farmers kill piles of deer, they for sure do it in KY, but why should they have to prove they have tried every legal means? Possibly go bankrupt in the process of trying to allow legal hunting to control the population. I can tell you if I owned a farm the deer affected my ability to make a living and provide for my family, the TWRA could come and trap their deer and take them away or I would take care of the problem. I know of one friend, he passed away, but the freaking otters decimated the small lakes he had built and stocked and were awesome lakes to fish. The game warden told him he wasn't allowed to kill the otters, he told the game warden to come and watch. He finally killed them all. He died several years ago, but he told me he was finally getting the lakes back to being good to fish. I am glad to see that when taken to court the TWRA is learning that they are not judge and jury and they should not be. If the deer are truly causing the farmer financial harm, then they should be able to reduce the population or kill all the deer as fast as possible and by the most effective way they safely can. The TWRA has lost credibility with a huge percentage of hunters and fishermen and the public and I am not sure how they get it back. Most every hunter and fisherman I know has lost respect for the TWRA. [/QUOTE]
