scarcity the same old Marxist song. The fact there is a Deer Hunting season is why the species has been able to propagate. these people always foment a narrative that involves their climate or environment agenda - it is their wiring. Their aim is scarcity of anything they determine you should do without as long as they are paid well
ReplyDeletewonder how much farther into maryland the deer herds with mad cow have moved. Every year there are more and more of them. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYears with low acorn yields are cyclical and are not the product of Marxist propaganda. If you had oak trees on your property it is obvious.
ReplyDeleteAnd what is the total taken by automobile? I know three people who have hit deer this fall and I had a close call.
ReplyDeleteDid you actually read the report? 16% increase in the number of deer harvested. INCREASE! The only thing reported to be scarce was acorns. Bad acorn year. It happens. Don't forget. you got a GOP governor now, so don't go around calling his admin. Marxist. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Great white hunters. Layout corn, salt lick ,and water for several weeks and they will come. You can pin point the time the deer will show like punching a time clock. Then you see a picture of a 7 yr old who supposedly shot a 14 pt buck. Great white hunter's. PLEASE! !!
ReplyDeleteDo you hunt? Or just complain? I enjoy seeing kids do something other than sitting in the house. U must have been one of those as a child. Idiot.
DeleteThey do have a wasting disease. Have seen several deer with odd sores and discolored/mushy brains in both PA and MD.
