FWIW , "they" NDGF get hit from all sides, They most likely do and don't at the same time. I remember one fellow at a meeting arguing till heck wouldn't have it over deer eating his trees, he just wouldn't give up and took up most of the meeting. A lot of farmers and insurance companies don't want more deer , they eat into a lot of profits , a lot more that we realize . To be honest, urban hunters have less skin in the game than anyone else. It is what it is, I too wish there was an answer.Then THEY (Game and Fish) need to adapt the units to meet their apparent conservation needs!
I’m still in the “they don’t want more deer” camp. Seriously
I don't really mind the deer eating my crops, gardens ,trees and what not. Back in the day ,venison got a lot of people through some very tough times and I feel like I owe it to the deer to make sure they thrive when I can. It would be nice if there was a perfect answer to the gratis but there isn't, NDGF won't go there because they know better then to slap the hands that feed them and us. I truly wish there was a better way to proceed. I'm all open for suggestions and ways to help this situation.
