13 days to Deermageddon

To the hunting naysayers here, deer overpopulation is a real problem.

So is human overpopulation, but you don't see me hunting people do you?

1500 pigs a day. Kinda takes. Kinda desensitives a person.

They prefer the term "police officer"!

Come on KIt.. You're getting people confused with worthless mammals now. We are far more valuable and special. Cos we can talk and stuff.

Let' s look at reality.

Unless you want mountain lions, bears and wolves creeping about in your backyard - human hunters are the best option for controlling the deer population. Without predators the disease rate ( like CWD and bovine TB) spread quickly through the herd - as these diseases are spread through large groups of deer feeding off a common source. With ample food deer will have twins and triplets every year. Populations could double every year. That' s a whole lot of unhealthy deer.

And as earlier mentioned - vehicle/ deer accidents skyrocket. ( I whacked one on sa motorcycle - so I do get a twinge of revenge inspired glee when whacking one.


And - there' s no health care plan, or old age homes for deer. Cripples die slow. Old deer lose their teeth and starve to death. A well placed bullet is far less painful.


But, if you judge life by cartoons - feel bad for "Bambi".


Me - I' ll be eating wine sauce blackened backstraps on a bed of wild rice and scallions.

I disagree. People who hunt should be allowed weapons. I would have no objection to hunting Cape buffalo with a Swiss Army knife.

We knew a farmer a few years ago who planted 400 acres of beans. The bean plants grew strong and healthy and started producing. He went to sleep one night thanking his God for a bountiful harvest that would make up for the last year's drought crop.

The next morning he woke up, stretched, looked out his window and saw a herd of deer in his bean field. He grabbed his gun and started shooting. By the time the herd ran away he was left with less than 40 acres of bean plants.

One less farmer to put food on our tables the next year.

OLB. The King INSISTS that his venison (after butchering) has to sit outside in coolers in the shed overnight before he freezes it. We've argued about this for years, but I have to admit he's never food-poisoned me. I see you said it goes straight in the freezer. Any good arguments for me to use as to why?
