Same sort of stuff goes on here and it's a damn shame. The deer strike I had - driving a loaner car, no less - was not up where I hunt in Wisconsin but in the Chicago suburbs. A strip mall, to be exact. I was driving down Cermak and watching the woodline of the forest preserve, and it ran from a Burger King parking lot into the front quarterpanel. The number of deer, the size of the deer, the quality of the trophies - love to get in a season there. Unfortunately, they insist on doing a cull a couple times a decade instead of letting people in, even with bows. Ah, Crook County.
Even further out still does the same thing though. I've been similarly impressed visiting a cemetery and at Morton Arboretum, where a friend used to work. We were allowed to fish the water at the arboretum, but the cull was the same 3 lucky guys, every year.
I'm in the Cleveland suburbs now and it's the same thing. More deer in the Metroparks than in the huntable wildlife areas. Makes sense for them, I guess, but I wish these bureaucrats who decide what folks get to harvest would share the love.
In any case, if I lose my job, there is another Yank looking for 400 deer tags a year. Tell your cockies that I'll underbid the other one too. That's if my government still lets me participate in free markets.
My Mother is European & she IS a dear, but I don't think that's what you meant!
