Amazing... just under $1000 to dart one deer? More Government idiocy. Just extend the season and shoot more deer.

Because they enjoy doing really idiotic things in places like Maryland, I guess.

Well that's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of but they are Yankees so there you go! Lol

They have a pretty big bag limit for parts of the state.

Sounds like they are over populated!

[Snacks]

Just under 1k per animal!

Not a good thing...if that spreads, PETA and the Humane Society will get behind it (they already have apprantly) and you could forseably get rid of hunting altogether and control heard growth by administering the drug....this was Human Society quote from that article:
"There is a demand for nonlethal options and now that Maryland has stepped forward we believe the DNR will start hearing from those who want to use that option. Our vision is to be able to remotely dart the animal with the drug and tag. That way you don't have to capture it. There are always some animals that don't survive the trauma of the capture and processing, and we would like to eliminate that." - crazy

i get the over populated. but a $1,ooo per? help feed the hungry are some thing!

How stupid is that???? Why not just extend the season or increase the number of does that you can harvest....Or Both???? A little less than a $1000.00 to dart a deer. What a huge waste of tax payer dollars, state and federal. I wonder if they would let all of us Texas Bow Hunters come and harvest a few does. I could sure use the meat.

Bunch of DA's in that state. Just who is going to pay for this? Probably not he animal lovers.

[flywise]

Liberals do what liberals do, no need for common sense

[Twztid]

Why not give free range to us Texas boys and buy our flight up there for a little open season

I wonder how many folks are on food stamps in that state? I guess none if they can do away with such a large food sorce.
