Many years ago my boys had a pet Canada Goose. The game warden confiscated it and turned it loose on the game preserve. It probably didn't last the week............But, by God he did his job. And the kids hated him for it.
And the Aholes are coming up with every possible excuse to kill a perfectly healthy young deer to "protect" all the people that are not in danger in any way.
Sad how if you had a starving family that desperately needed food, you would go to jail for shooting a deer BUT the government can and kill it just because it has the word "Pet" painted on it.
I think someone needs to look up the word Conservation.
Those who run this country have their heads so far up their behinds I don't see how they manage to Breathe.
If I was the warden, I would have been like the three monkeys. 😉 Some guys just need to feel the power invested in them, instead of the human kindness.
Blind taste test. One on right, wild, one on the left, pet. To be continued.
maybe just me but a lot of the deer hunters I worked with along the way were farmers or the only ones with access to the hunting area
they made sure to keep the deer fed and planted special crops to keep them in hauled in apples for them even
one old farmer friend and coworker
had a old camper pulled along the fence line with electric hooked up to power the coffee pot microwave and heater and a had shooting port slot int he side and of course a pile of corn about 20 yards in direct line of his shooting port he kept stocked year round
he told me he had got a deer for the last 30 yrs GEE who would have guessed.😲
I guess my point
a lot of "pet deer " well fed and taken care of just never actually been petted.
... and I bet he was proud of himself, Ditch-Runner. What a man, sportsman, human being.
Yes he was
But he was not embarsed one bit I teased him all the time about shooting his pets .
I get the thing about leaving food out to attract them in even growing acres after food to draw them in
He is a great guy a vietnam vet his job was radio man and farmer
I made fun of him over the deer set up but if it kept him close to home safe from other hunters his family knew exactly where he was at what ever to each there own treat them like cattle or sheep
Sorry if I offended someone. Hell, I don’t need to feed deer, I live in Illinois nothing but corn and bean fields, one big dam food plot.
