Then they're poachers then, I'll alert the game warden the next time I come across a body. I would assume that laws like that are pretty hard to enforce. I'm starting to think that I live a concentrated population of crazy, irresponsible rednecks - which is probably true.
Deer being as plentiful as "fleas on a dog" shouldn't mean anything. They're here, we're constantly interacting with them, might as well take the precaution to keep their bloodlines healthy - for their sake and ours. If we keep going like we are now, the bloodlines will become diluted with all sorts undesirable genetics and the damage irreversible. Yes I do think that we should treat them similarly to our livestock, but one of our priorities should be to follow mother nature's way as to keep them fit for the wild. Please don't look at animals like they're plastic sandwich bags that were meant to be thrown in the trash as soon as you were done with them or something, they're living and breathing just as we are.
Strange when it comes to the fawns during hunting season. I suppose that the bucks could have just been looking for does, or were just curious about the babies. About how long do the fawns stay with the mother? And about how long do they keep their characteristic spots? Do you think that climate change could be throwing their normal cycles off balance? Many of the local (and respectable) hunters here have noticed ruts and scratch marks on trees (technical word for that?) from deer antlers about the same time that my dad and I saw the fawns.
Thistle- couldn't help but cringe when you used "Disneyfy." I do not associate myself with those groups and find them disgusting (disgusting is the only word that I can think of to describe them right now).
Seedcorn - having spent a good portion of my life working and living on a farm specializing in waterfowl, I disagree on your assertion that domesticated goose is "tender and moist". But then again we don't feed our geese a diet made up of 100% corn, pen them up in tiny cages, and force-feed them. "Tame" duck however, is a completely different story. We can agree on wild duck and goose, that meat could make a large dog's gums bleed.
