    In WI a landowner can trap and hunt small game YEAR ROUND on his land. So much for the regulations in effect to protect over harvest, blah,blah, blah.
    This tells me 1 thing, it is ALL about the money when it comes to deer. The State says it is okay for the owner to hunt squirrels, rabbits, and what not on his land all year which means some of that time is OUT OF SEASON. Is he still a “Poacher”? The State says no.
    But, now you bring in the word DEER, and people get all up in arms. All deer are is a State cash cow. People put way too much value on a deer. If it is on my land, I should be allowed to do what I choose with it. If a person can hunt the small game all year, why not the deer as well? Mainly because they want your money, they could care less about the deer. The deer herd is so thick, they probably out number the squirrels.
    But either way, I am not one to hide behind a computer and I am defini9tely not afraid to tell you how I see things.
    If I am a landowner, in any state, and down to dire need, I would not hesitate to provide food off of an animal that is on MY property. I can also say I sure hope it never comes to that.


    Despite what you think Suzuki, this guy Wats has it all laid out for ya. He said, she said, your land, my land, your deer, my deer, squirrels, rabbits, trapping, its all a conspiracy against us. Can’t you see that? The state’s cash cow, they’re screwing us.

    The law is the law. You cant lay claim to wild game becasue they are on your land. That’s simply ridiculous. I can’t believe this post went this long.

    I hunted his place and it was overun with does and small bucks and I shot a few, with tags. I quit hunting his place because I wanted a better chance at arrowing a big buck and in this area they were heavy buck hunters at almost any age, if its brown it down croud. I used his place as an example of how bad things can get to put hardships on some people, farming or not it gets rough sometimes even though theres help from the county or churches around here and up north in general. When I lived down south and worked for myself the oil prices droped and everyone stoped spending money to get thier homes fixed up or repaired, you couldn’t buy a job at that time just like when we left to go there, it was exactly the same here thats why we left, to go to work instead of living off welfare. When we ran out of luck we asked for help at a local organization down there and they sent us to a church. We got there and they gave us a bag of navy beans and a bag of rice. Im not complaining about that but it just goes to show you in some places you can’t get help because there isn’t any. In Texas they don’t have any state programs to help people out when they need it, the public don’t pay state income tax through thier paychecks taxes there, just businesses do. We sold everything we had plus my single trawler shrimpboat that I was building just to come home where I could work. My wife and I were hungry until we sold what we had to leave and that took awhile. In some places there isn’t help or it takes awhile to get it, those are the times when I overlook anyone who wants to eat that takes a deer. The local rattlesnakes looked pretty good and I would have eaten those if I could have found them. We fished alot until we came home. For those who think its wrong wait until your stomachs growling and you can’t feed your 4 year old son and wife, things change when your hungry. Even when you don’t want to there are times when you need to find a faster source for your food.

    I would use a rifle myself, your odds will be better Use a potato for a silencer so the neighbors don’t hear you

    Why not just make and use a potato gun that way if and when you miss you can still have your vegtables already sliced for you!
