It's especially bad down by Interstate 80 here in Western Ne and Wyoming because the interstate follows the North Platte river. Nothing worse than going down the interstate on a pitch black night and coming up on a herd of deer at 75 + MPH.
They should have a longer rifle and archery season to help cull the deer or nature will probably help out shortly by a bad breakout of Chronic Wasting disease or Hemorrhagic disease or Bovine TB.
I'd rather see a longer hunting season then see deer drop dead from disease.
There's just waaaaaaaaay too many fucking deer here.  |
I haven't hunted in decades, so my only experience with deer since 1980-something is dodging the goddamn things on the highway. I've never hit one (knock on wood), but have had numerous close calls. Every time I drive out in the country I inevitably see them splattered all over the road. I no longer think about the enjoyment of the hunt, or the taste of venison. I just view these things as long-legged rats with antlers. There are way too many of them, and the population needs to be severely culled. More hunting, less whining about it.
