In lieu of that, it is my understanding that a gratis tag "trade" was made for tolerance of deer. I don't hunt deer but I do like viewing them on my property. To a point......In 2019 we harvested sunflowers. The deer moved in after the rifle hunt. 200 deer congregated on 80 acres is a site. However, they went after my tree row seedlings. They really liked the ash. It's not posted and six bow hunters moved into an abandoned yard. Well shit, too many guys walking around and talking, they didn't shoot any. Two friends asked if they could post it. They killed deer. They wouldn't have had to, but I found a 12 pack of Budweiser in my garage. Everyone knows the story. In the late 1800's railroad crews etc. didn't have refrigeration and grocery stores so they hired hunters to shoot everything. The first settlers moving west killed wildlife instead of eating bessy the milk cow. The North American Wildlife Conservation Model was born. Government agencies were formed to protect the publics wildlife. Bag limits were set and the wildlife came roaring back. Good times and hunting is supposed to be fun. And then in the late 1990's the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation was written. Notice the play on words. The word Model was simply moved from the end to the middle. Usurpers. Now we fight: road verses roadless, private land tags, season dates, resident verses nonresident, crossbows, technology, ATV's, baiting, tournaments, the list is long.</blockquote>

Verification: What is the most common fish caught on this site?
