RE: Sad Deer Situation IN My Back Yard
Hey cardeer, you can't even bowhunt on your own property? I hunt in a very suburban area with houses all around and have to be very careful, there are a lot of deer lovers out there. I'm in the landscape buisness and have people begging me to bowhunt their property but also have people freak out if they know I'm hunting "their babies" I can't understand why you can't hunt your own property. Please explain

Pabuck I agree with you on Germany. They condense there living and keep the land. My brother lived in a house where a barn was attached to one side. The old cow would swing swing her chain and you would hear the clanking.
Cardeer and the rest of us should start calling the newspaper and TV news stations with these stories. Someone mentioned Richard Gere turning land into a horse ranch(Tazman?) Shouldn't these people be shown as hypocrytes????????

Tarsal Pennsylvania land of taxes,yuppies and peta heads.Township ordinance. Where there s a development of more then 50 homes the shooting of animals cant be any closer then a quarter of a mile from the development.this is a new development that just threw this area in to that zone. Time to move.

Cardeer that i s the American way, Buy cheap, sell high, screw the neighbors and the neighborhood. I moved to the country in 77, now it's not country anymore. My older neighbors once told me that when a car went by they used to go to the window and look out , now its like a traffic jam on week nights.

RonM, just look what's happening to Middletown!!! Everybody says if you want to live in the country, go below the canal. They are and the "country" below the canal is turning into one HUGE development. It's sad...<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Cardeer, don't worry about it. Deer can adapt to anything. You have seen some of the deer taken from our property. These deer live between a highway, a prison, a airport, and a bunch of little developments. They live in little 30-60 acre patches of woods. Sure, there are a lot of fields and stuff, but they adapt more than most people think. I see deer pretty much every night standing on the runways at the airport licking the salt on the pavement. They found the airport property/prison property to be a safe haven. No hunters, but they still venture off the property to find food. If you want to take some of these deer out, I would set up as close as you can to the areas where the deer moved, stay on land that you can hunt, just wait for the deer to move out of there to find food.

P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

Sorry to hear of your problem. NJ is full of this type of thing and it's making everyone sick! We have lost about 4 choice hunting spots in the last 15 yrs and my current one has a driving range going up in the back.
Let's just hope that they dont use your tax money to hire sharpshooters like in Princeton, NJ!

Urban sprawl is hitting all over this country. I live 15 mile from OK's largest city and am loosing alot of hunting spots to new houses. The old farmers die off and all that their families can think of is selling the prop. for a profit. I also want to move farther out but the wife says no. It's a sad situation everywhere.
