What part of this post has anything to do with hunting illegally? Read people!
This rule is as good as the Obama health care plan. Umm hello, yes? Ya i just killed a deer i like to waste my minutes to report it. Get real we dont need more control. Make it like they do in Georgia. You get 10 does and two bucks. It’s pretty sad when we have to leave our state to shoot a nice deer. There are way to many does to bucks. And dont tell me the bucks move at night. I’ve been out at night shining and you can clearly see that there are more does then bucks. At least a 10 to 1 ratio. Lets start allowing our bucks to grow. And stop trying to control us.

Happy citizen, I sure would have loved to have seen that.
I would one time like to see the good guys win over the bad hunters
who don’t care about any living thing including their neighbors or their
neighbors children.

I could have used a good smile……

I moved here for the nature and animals out in the country and found
more animals than I know what to do with……

Well my work has paid off, the night hunters that were harrassing us have finally got caught. They were running deer down with thier trucks in the peanut fields and the Game Wardens cought them in the act. Stupid Night Hunters even had does in the truck along with prescription drugs.
Thanks, for the laugh…

Back in the days of Daniel Boone, there were not as many people, plenty of wildlife for everyone, and no game laws~ they hunted or fished when they needed food, the people in a settlement tried to live peacefully with their neighbors, and tried to get along with the Native Americans. And when hellions came along, they soon moved on or were fatally punished for their unacceptable behavior. Kinda like in the O.T. Bible times, when sin came in the ‘camp’, they weren’t just punished, they were eradicated~ didn’t won’t
anything left to contaminate the rest. Or like in dawgs~years ago, if a hound ever got into a chicken yard and killed a chicken or ate some eggs, you could never break him of the habit, so he was simply done away with.

So, seems like we have complicated things in our attempt to civilize those who do not wish to be civil. I know we cannot go back, but when life was simpler, seems like people were a lot nicer to their neighbors. I guess it all goes back to “love your neighbor as you love yourself” and if the Love of God is not in you, you cannot love yourself and therefore you cannot love anyone! So, with this in mind, may God’s love flow through us to one another during this holy season and throughout the year.

Here is proper herd management. Shoot’em all, shoot’em all anytime,anyplace anywhere, any sex, day or night, no license, no permit, no age limit. Shoot’em till every last one of them is gone. Like eradicated from the earth. Keep shooting them so the only one left is a stuffed one in the Smithsonian Museum. THEN maybe you could drive down to the mailbox without hitting one.

Thank you Mr. Green! You put into words so eloquently what I had thought! But you usually do have a way with words and I enjoy your thoughts on the subjects!
I remember “poor Howard” LOL! My son still sings it from time to time! Keep up the good work of bringing ’sunshine’ into our lives.
And to you…the monster, you are probably right, but hopefully you are not one of them.
My grandfather had a motto he lived by~”Live and let live” and he lived by that…he felt that what someone else had was theirs and what he had was his. He didn’t bother what belonged to someone else and they had better not bother what belonged to him. It worked for him, and I try to live the same way, but if someone else bothers what we have worked hard to have, I have no problem with pressing charges…let the law handle them, but if all else fails, retaliate!!! Thank goodness when we have trespassers, we can shoot and if more people did that and defended what was theirs, after a few episodes, they would think twice before doing it again! It’s the times we are living in and they are hard and may get worse, BUT that does NOT give people the right to take what is not theirs.

REGARDING:
“I have plenty of gun holes in my house to prove it”

Interesting that you still think they were shooting at game rather than you. I guess it’s better that way.

David for rosy outlooks
and bad shots

Let me guess we have to by the TAGS to!!! “Hunting permit” $17.50 ,” Mgmt area permit” $27.00 , “Muzzleloading permit” $ 5.50 ,”Duck permit” $ 17.50 only good for 30 days. ” Fishing permit” $ 17.50. New this year “Deer permit” $ 5.50. Thats not all boat registration $ 23.50, trailer tag $ 32.50 I have not harvested a deer yet! But there’s more Gas for the truck $ 30.00 , Gas for the boat $12.00 , Bag of ice $3.00 OK I’m all set to go kill the big one, I back down to the landing and i get stuck on our very good boat ramps that we have on the north end you know alot of work goes into them from all the money the new tags and deer permist make.I get to my stand and a doe walks up “NOPE” can not kill one of them!! A turkey walks up “NOPE” did not buy a turkey stamp. A spake walks up “NOPE” got to be 5 inches above the head. After several trips and several times to the gas pumps I kill the big one, I take him to the meet house and have him processed and the man says that will be $89.00 so total for the year $281.00 so be sure to thank the fish and wildlife commission of all there proposals. This is a true story and they win I will not do it again I’m done…

Horrific~ I’m sure people around you may be doing exactly what you have said, but I assure you that EVERYONE does NOT hunt stupid nor shoot at everything that moves whenever and whereever they choose. Yes, there will always be some who try to break every rule in the book just to prove they can. Some people never learned to respect other peoples’ property nor their rights, they never learned to respect authority nor abide by the law of the land.They probably don’t have anything and wouldn’t take care of it if you gave it to them. I’m sorry for the problems you have and with the lowlife you have to contend with, but for the record, there are many hunters who tend their land, providing food for the wildlife during the year, who selectively harvest ~waiting until the appropriate time and for the right deer to present itself. It’s not about slaudering wildlife, but harvesting a few each year to have for food and keeping their population under control. You have your right to be disgruntled, but please do not categorize ALL hunters by those you have issues with.
