WHERE ARE THE WORST AREAS FOR HITTING A DEER IN SEG COUNTY
i hate that people hunt deer for fun it is not right. i dont understand why they would shoot deer when they are relly helpless.they can not protect them selves except to run
Why don't farmers allow hunting? Because all the slobs who hunt on the land anyway, regardless of signs, postings, and repeated warnings. We constantly run people off our land, who say, "We didn't see the signs," some more than once. They tear down fence, leave gates open, and discard their trash and beer cans all over the place. Don't these slobs realize that I have to maintain liability insurance on my land, and that by allowing hunting my premiums go up, up, and up? Or do they simply see their side of things, and whine "it's not fair"? The one person that hunts on my land spends at least 3 days a year clearing land, mending fences, and helping me burn pasture. Oh, and the individual that suggested that we ask hunters to "sign some sort of agreement" doesn't understand that you cannot abrogate your rights in Kansas, which means that no matter what a hunter signs, he can still sue you (believe me, they do) when they do somehting stupid and want to blame someone other than themseleves.
The biggest problem with deer hunting here in Kansas are the state regulations. The state makes you buy an either sex tag(or a Buck Tag) as your first tag (it is also the most expensive tag). If you want to go for a doe deer, you must first buy this Buck Tag, then you can purchase a doe tag. The regulations need to be changed so that you can purchase a doe only tag as your first tag. The state finally listened to hunters and loosened up the regulations a little bit this year. If the farmers are so fed up with the over population of doe deer on their property, why don't you call someone that wants to hunt does only and make an arrangement for them to harvest a certain number of them? Why don't you have people that ask for permission sign some sort of agreement stating what you will allow and what you expect of them? An appreciative and respective hunter won't mind following your rules, especially when they know them in advance. Give it a try. What do you have to lose? A few deer
I will shoot all the does i legally can with respect if i could hunt on some land
Farmers, I do not hunt but my x used to and its all about RESPECT. And most people have lost that in life itself. We appreciate you farmers. As much as I know how I love the wildlife deer are very good eating. I hit a deer once while driving it was a brand new surburban and did about 6 thousand dollars of damage. I and my daughter were not hurt Thank GOD. When it is a full moon watch out the deer travel when its a full moon. And when you see one you will see another one always. It is the farmers land and we need to respect that. I do understand about the farmers leasing their property. I believe if you are a person who gives the respect then you get it. So if you ask a farmer and they say no maybe ask if they know of someone you could hunt on and keep the respect they might just change their mind when they see your reaction as they tell you no. RESPECT
i might not agree on hunting but y does everyone want a buck. go for does to keep in balance.keep less accidents and make inocent drivers suffer a lot of damage and less dead deer on highway.and that was harsh espn2.
Is all it takes is one bad hunter and the rest of us have to suffer
I am the wife of a farmer, we as farmers have had field rutted up, trash left in the fields, shotgun shells left for us to pick up after them. There is a lot of time that you will have a hunter just pick a field and have no respect for the pruple paint onthe post. It is because of those hunters that the land is leased to one person or a small group of people. We tend to lease to people that we know, so that we know they will respect the land. You want some one to complain to, complain to the hunters that trash the land and make it so we have to do this.
jimmie johnson won the race, but you had to switch to espn2 to see the last of it. apparently "america's funniest home videos" took priority. i'd love to see them cut out the last quarter of a football game for that...... imagine the reaction
There is practical NO place to hunt,, unless you have the big bucks to pay. Most farmers or ranchers will tell you it leased to someone to hunt. About 20 years ago you could knock on a door, say hi, ask to hunt or fish. I would say about 80% of the time the answer would be yes. With the usual qualiifiers, such as shut the gate, no trash and don't tear stuff up...
I also hunt deer. But every hunter wants to kill a buck and a big one at that. But most hunters will kill a buck under 3yrs old and be done hunting. The problem with that is that buck should not have been shot he is too young. If a hunter does shoot a buck that person should also shoot at least 2 doe's. Shooting doe's will help keep the population in check and allow for larger bucks. But most people just want to shoot a buck. In order to shoot a mature buck you must have patience and not be willing to shoot a deer that in a couple of years could be a 160 plus deer. I have passed up a lot of good quality young deer (150 to 160) but no matter what I always harvest two doe's. Until hunters understand to let the bucks mature and always harvest doe's this problem could get worse.
who won the nascar race
I'm also a bow hunter. Until people realize this is the reason we hunt (deer management) there will continue to be a high number of accidents. I'M DISAPPOINTED IN KAKE FOR NOT HAVING THE HUNTERS POINT OF VIEW AND THE BENEFITS INCLUDED. SHAME ON YOU. Especially since you mentioned "this time of year." That's because we are beginning the rut and bucks have all their guards down. They do the most damage.
I am a bow hunter here in wichita and if more farmers would allow hunters on to their property, there would be less deer. There is absolutly NO walk in hunting here in Sedgwick county. Farmers are no longer willing to let anyone hunt their land, at least not for FREE! Wake up people! Hunters are not bad people. They help to control the population of animals such as deer that have NO longer have ENOUGH natural predators.
