95% of all hunting deer in michigan is done by the sit and wait method, (lottery) mostly because it is dangerous as all get up to wonder through the woods tracking.
truthfuly here in michigan, there are 10 deer hunters for every acre of all available hunting area. if you dont beleive me, just go out on opening day one hour late. you will not beleive the number of cars you will find lined up along road sides parking areas, and just sit there for half hour and watch front and back to see all those who are just being dropped off and the car moves on.
what lonehunter is talking about is the agrigate being not happy because of the deer not dieing off during the winters because hunters are feeding them through the end of december. spairing valuable winter foods for the hard seasons
the amount of feed a hunter in michigan may put down in the corce of a day is just enough to feed one or two deer for one feeding.
untill you can get corparate to move back in to the city and rebuilding the cities insted of just moving out in to the country, the deer will always be in need of hunters suplimenting their diets.
and to be honest, I would rather see my carrots be eaten by deer and rabbits and not get a deer than just walk out in the woods and do nothing at all.
I have stalked down more deer in the corce of our 2 week season than that of most hunters have seen deer in their life time of hunting.
now that I am disabled, the best I can hope for is a short walk from the car to a sitting spot and hope I hit the deer lottery my self.
so to laugh is realy an insult. yes I would rather walk the wilderness the way my red booded ansestors did, yes I would enjoy draging a deer 5 miles through the woods to get him back to camp. unfortunatly I have to face the facts. there is not a peice of woods that I can walk 5 miles into in the state of michigan.
hunting in michigan is comming to a close, but not by the act of peta tho they would like to make claim to it, it is dieing because of human over population.
michigan can not any longer feed it self eather through available natural resorces or by farm produce. peta may not be aware of this, but even thier soybean farms are now at risk.
if any one dose not beleive me about this, I chalange them to go to a supermarket any day of the week, any week of the year, and look at who's products are on the shelves. catle, sheep, poultry, dary, yes even fish. 90% of all available foods available on michigan shelves is imported from every where else.
bouya I tell ya It is a lucky day when I can find michigan taters and onions on the shelf.
any way, agrigate has disillusioned them selves as to the causes of spread of deseases. there is more to worie about the alpha male spreading the desease thourgh the rutting and mating rituals than what a couple gallons of corn will spread.
you go ahead and sit there and laugh, and when your children and grand children have lost the life style of natural ways, you can look back and wonder why did some one not do any thing to curve if not put in place measures to reduce human population levels with out wars.
