These numbers from one farm just seem a little staggering to me??
If they killed and DIDN'T FIND 10 deer in one gun season then how many total did they actually kill because I'm sure they didn't lose them all.
This just seems very odd to me. The numebrs just flat out don't make any sense at all unless someone is killing deer for target practice or you have some very bad water.

Also I'm curious as to why your interested in buying a .270 GUN Barrel if you can't stand gun season??

No need to put a bad wrap on GUN hunters. This is the works of POACHERS, and cannot be giving the title of HUNTER at all. It is terrible that someone would do such a thing, but to blame a season, or a weapon for these events is wrong it is the person, or persons thatare at fault, not the weapon or season. I hope the DNR were called before the removal of anything. Just my 2 cents.

RE: Another rant.
Well the guy is getting tags for the bigger bucks thats why I haven't gotten a picture of them yet. I know I acted a bit harsh in the previous post I had made about gun hunting, but this is truly the way most of the gun hunters do around here, and I hate the way They do I should say. I'm sorry for sounding like I can't stand gun hunters period. Thats not what I meant. I just don't like the hunters that do things ethically wrong. Also I'm telling You these deer haven't been dead that long. We have pictures of them alive so We know they haven't been dead long. Oh and also I don't know if the guy called the game warden or not. He didn't say anything about it, but they weren't found on our property so We didn't do anything.

Yea My Dad just got a new encore, and I think Ijust about haveHim talked into getting the .270 barrel for it. lol I've got a .222 I shoot, but it doesn't have the knock down power a .270 would. We have tons of coyotes in our area. My Dad let a deer lay over night once, because He was unsure of His hit. The next morning We found the deer...well some of it. The coyotes got to it before We did, and totally tore up the cape of it, and had ruind the meat.

No need to apologize, your angry, and I dont blame you! Its hard to understand why someone would do this, but getting the DNR involved is the best thing you can do. You never know what they may find out. These people are giving a bad name to hunting in general, and I hope they get caught someday.

My .204 does a good job on the Coyotes, usually no exit hole and drops them in their tracks! I'm going after them with my Longbow in a few weeks, can't wait!

RE: Another rant.
well, let me say this. Within a 10 square mile of my house, 30-40 bucks die each year between august and december. ALL at night, rifle and crossbow. 4 outlaw 18-23 year olds operating with impunity.
Do you know what these jerks do? take pictures and let them lie right there.
I am NOT exaggerating or stretching the truth ONE BIT. this has been going on for 3 YEARS now.
I have contacted Encon with the names, addresses and ages of these wastes of oxygen. They have been trying to catch them "in the act ", but with 2 officers covering THOUSANDS of Acres, they admit there's little they can do.
i am at a loss at what to do. Can you imagine what this has done to the hunting around here?
Short of "taking out" these creeps myself, there's really nothing that can be done. And i'm not about to jeporadize MY freedom for these failures.
So, rest assured this kind of thing CAN happen. And it's SCUMBAGS that do it, Not always gun OR bowhunters. Or hunters of ANY kind for that matter.
