why would a state do this to deer?

[Flint knapper]

More waste of taxpayers money.
Typical Liberal bleeding heart response to a problem that would never have been if the hunters were allowed harvest all the deer they want, especially the does.

The sale of extra deer tages would create more money for the wildlife dept, and in doing so even provide extra proteen for the local food bank.

How many people do you know that would actually kill 12 deer in a season given the opportunity? Not just say they would to be cool but harvest 12 deer, clean and process. I killed/processed 10 myself in 2006 and it was more that I could handle. I don't think upping bag limits is the answer. Bringing in hunters from other states (by cheap license and hunts) sounds like a better answer.

Actually, Humane Society is driving the bus on this one. And how is it stopping hunting?

They said the meat will be inedible. If it kills people who eat it, what will it do to the animal.
Imagine a lifetime with no sex.

License is $130, that is pretty good. I would go if I knew there would be an opportunity to kill a bunch of deer with no other charge besides room and board or public land.
