Thanks Hazel. Great questions. He sounded fairly good. Good to hear his reports re the deer over population. (Remember- our group got him hired.) We need a lot more and better hunters, We had a qualified hunter on our 4 acres and he and his friend did not even get one deer all season. He really tried. He saw deer on my property and really tried (cameras etc) but never got to killed one. Re State laws: I think we need to march on the Gov.’s office to demad help re deer-overpopulation -and also medically counting the number of cases of various tick-borne diseases in our Town and County (i.e. Alpa Gal Meat Allergy. Thousands of cases and NO records!)
