Bee, read article you attached. Extra deer are harvested during a regulated hunting season. You can get the permits at any time. You can only use them during regulated times. Same as Indiana.

Please trust me on this one....I've applied for the permit personally, working closely with my DNR office and filled the tags...in the summer, when the deer were eating the crop. All very legal, with permission. Please read the part of the article I quoted..it explains it all. Not poaching. I repeat, not poaching....with permission.

These are not "extra deer"...they are specifically taken to prevent crop damage to farmer's crops and not part of the hunting season at all. You don't even have to have a hunting license to use the permits and harvest the deer.

Read carefully.....

Wildlife damage permits are another option available to the landowner. If the herd cannot be reduced during the regular hunting season through sport hunting, provisions are available for obtaining permits from the DNR to remove deer which cause damage. Specific information is available from your local DNR conservation officer. Although crop damage is an attractive alternative and can be effective at removing specific offending animals, it can require significant amounts of time.

Forgive me if this has already been stated but...
All I have to say is....some people will spend $5 on a cup of coffee but wouldn't ever spend that on a dozen eggs that were ethically raised and fed the highest quality feed. Priorities.

People spend $5 on a cup of coffee????

Starbucks, Caribou, Dunn Bros....the list goes on. Silly if ya ask me.

I'm really glad I'm still firmly back in the dark ages here in WV. Seven dollar eggs and five dollar coffee is beyond my imagination, even.

Now I wonder if they are being tricked and duped into that, or if they are just not using their money wisely?

Obviously tricked...coffee is mood altering and addictive, you know.

The thought of spending $5.00 for coffee would certainly alter my mood -- and stopping at a place like that would never become addictive for me. I have yet to purchase a bottle of water.

I don't drink coffee and I honestly don't know what a cup of coffee costs, but I know I wouldn't pay $5 for one. When I hear things like folks spending that much for eggs or a cup of coffee, I can't really believe all the hype about our failing economy. That dog just won't hunt.
