Deer Hunting

[genealogynut]

It would be so nice if the licensed deer hunters would thin out the deer population considerably that are in the Chautauqua Hills and around the Elk City Lake.  They seem to be rather thick in those areas.  I think the firearms season starts on Nov. 29th.

It would be really nice if all the landowners in those areas would let local people hunt, but most of the private land is leased to outfitters and is hunted by out of state hunters.

You are absolutely right!  Thanks for posting that.  Now, does anyone have a viable solution?  I do have a question, though.  Is hunting allowed on the wild game reserve?  Or are there restrictions?  I do not know much about that, so maybe someone would like to educate me.

As a land owner I would love to let local people hunt if they paid as much as the outfitters do.With taxes going up and crops not doing so well. That money would come in handy. Marjean
