I'm sure it does.

Nothing new here. The folks in Point Reyes Station and nearby Inverness are wonderfully friendly - but a very large percentage of them are complete flakes. Witness their prowess with math (or proofreading - I don't know which)...



The NPS and F&G tried to get control of the deer population at Point Reyes about 25 years ago, and met with stiff opposition from the locals. Then, it was to be a public archery hunt. BTW - I suspect the numbers were way higher than what is reported here.

Doesn't surprise me that it's come to this.

why am I guessing they are not at all upset about dismembering unborn humans?

just a guess

This is like the oppositionh a few years back to special seasons in the Everglades I think it was back in the seventies or eighties record rainfalls were threatening a number of deer so the F&G started special hunting seasons to keep these deer from being wasted by drowning. Of course the local bambi huggers got an injuction to stop the special hunts. By the time the court processes was done the bambists got half the area to "Humainly retrieve the deer heards (Live trap and transplant) The F&G was able to go ahead with the special season for two weeks in the other half of the threatened area, Over fifteen hundred deer were harvested by legal hunts, five were live trapped and relocated. In the area the Bambi lovers were going to save the threatened animals I personally counted the remains of two thousand drowned or starved deer. I saw about forty or fifty drowned animals and no starved or starving deer in the area that had been hunted. I was young and idealistic back then and got a lot of my wrong ideas changed just from that experiance.
