We are done listening to the WDNR talking out of both sides of their mouth in our area. They encourage us to be stewards of the land and provide wildlife habitat then turn around and ask us to blast the heck out of the herd. We go to the public meetings and we have questions about less deer sightings and one WDNR manager will say that was by design....herd reduction goals are being met and the hunters are doing a good job...another manager will tell us deer move and one particular week of hunting is not indicitive of a low or high population. So on and so forth.
They buy up land around us, burn the buildings to the ground, tear up the fences and then walk away. Brush and invasive plant species take over the public land and they call this land management.
Our lands will not be completely closed to deer hunting...we will be more selective on who hunts and what is harvested. This is not unusual in this state...there a deer management organizations all over the state.
