Ravin R10 man Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 two local crop farms have recieved crop tags to eliminate deer . They are shooting right now!! i dont know how you can tell between bucks and does, as they look pretty much the same right now. One farms has 60 tags to fill, you must fill them by a date the dnr set or you lose the $$$. My friend runs the shooting on one farm, and he told me last year they shot some real good bucks last spring, and the farmer got about 20,000 $$$ the year before he missed the date by a week and the dnr would not honor the kill tally! I think shooting should be moved back until you can identify a buck from a doe. Its the does that add to the pop. not the bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesVee Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) I agree completely Oneida. I was not aware that the DNR would give out damage permits this time of year. Puts a sour taste in my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) We got the same kinda deal here onieda, its a statewide antlerless only hunt that runs after the regular season.Lotta bucks get mistaken for does every year during this season due to the bucks starting to shed thier antlers.Email the DNr and they claim theres nowhere else to put the season at that wont interfere with other exsting seasons.Bucks winding up dead kinda defeats the purpose of a doe season though.

Chrud Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) Thats a tough situtation. If you do it earlier, say mid to late December, then if anyone bowhunts that area they are upset. If you do it in the summer, bowhunters are upset. But, I think I'd much rather see the DNR have it be when you can easily tell the difference between bucks and does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) Does not really seem like a great idea for the damage permits to be given out this time of the year to me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislandhunter Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) I agree, they should only shoot during the time of the year when you can tell the sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) That's really taking a toll on the buck quality I bet. I agree about setting the season back so you can tell between does and bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) Same for me here. Our neighbors absolutely hate deer. They don't hunt but they get ag tags for other people to hunt. I really don't see the point. YEah we have crop damage too but nothing worth slaughtering the deer herd for. We'd rather have the deer around. They shoot em and if there isn't enough meat on them they let them lay and don't even bother butchering them. They're out every saturday and I think they can kill until bow season starts. I really don't know what to say to them to make them stop, all we can do is plant food plots and make sanctuaries to keep the deer off their land.

IowaDeerHunter Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Re: Crop kill tags (WI.) They do that in Iowa. Our farmers can even get us permits to kill more deer. THey are some sort of permit because there are so many deer that destroy the crops. There arent many deer. But I hope they use the show.
