Oh please. Once you've yakked about "blowing smoke out your ass", "off
your meds", etc., it's a bit late to claim that your intentions are
misunderstood.

How I handle a post is largely dependant on the attitude of the
person Im responding to. In your case, overt hostility gets responded
to in like fashion.

Sometime shortly after hunting season is over, the deer will come back
out of hiding, and life will go on.

You see, that's what I like about Usenet.... we're talking about a
decades-long decline in local deer numbers. Even the tag-funded G&F
recognize that, and have whittled the hunt down to
antlered-buck/archery-only. Next step is issuing tags for
slingshot-only. If we wanted knowledgeable and unbiased opinions on the
cause of the decline, we could undertake time-consuming studies.
Fortunately there's no need to wait for those, because it's Gummer's
Know-it-all Denial and Propaganda Posting Service to the rescue, racing
to within 500 miles of the scene, and pencil-whipping the truth in hours
free of charge - that the deer are just hiding. Only thing left to know
is whether they're hiding with Jimmy Hoffa, or with those mischievous
salmon.

So you are claiming then, that yours is one of the very few places
that deer populations are declining? Cites if you would.


As for you link to the Playstation hunting game..I guess this is the
future of air travel:

Nice try, but airspace is being made off-limits at a much slower rate
here than dirt for hunting. Consider this - on our road alone, the
private property signed no-hunting comprises two sections (so far), and
is the only practical access to about four more sections. That's close
to 4,000 acres in only a few years. I'd guess another 50 sections nearby
have either gone the same way already, or will in the next two decades.
That's another 32,000 acres in my neighborhood. Hundreds more sections
in this county have been chopped up for residential lots, and you're
dreaming if you think that all that property will stay available for
hunting. This march of homes is probably unique to AZ, and I can
understand how it might be news to you in CA. snorf It's true that
locals here will always be able to hunt for real... just not anywhere
near their own area.


So which is it? Urban sprawl or folks posting no hunting because of
slob hunters? I do wish you would make up your mind. Such as it is.

Since all the no hunting signs are going up..expect a dramatic
increase in the deer population. See..your problem is solved and you
will shortly be asshole deep in deer.
