Deer hearing moved to State House
The Fish & Wildlife Department announced that the public hearing on deer management formerly scheduled for Montpelier High School on Wednesday, March 27, is now going to be held that night in Room 11 at the State House, 115 State Street in Montpelier.
This is one of three annual deer management public hearings being held this month. Two more will be held later this spring. The meetings will cover last year’s harvest results and the prospects for the 2013 season. Two more hearings will be held in the northeast and southwest regions of the state in May.
These hearings will also be an opportunity for the department to seek additional hunter input for Vermont’s comprehensive deer management review plan. The department has already hosted one set of meetings on the review plan in January, and plans to host two more sets of meetings in May and July. In addition to these public meetings, the department will also review public input surveys and develop three regional working groups to discuss deer management and hunting regulations in Vermont.
Hunters are invited to attend one of the following public hearings, held from 7 to 9 p.m.
March 25, Springfield, Riverside Junior High School Cafeteria, 13 Fairground Road, Springfield
March 27, Montpelier, State House, Room 11, 115 State Street, Montpelier
March 28, St Albans, St. Albans Town Educational Center Cafeteria, 169 South Main Street, St. Albans (This is a nut product-free zone).

Why do us Vermonters need to kill innocent animals? Can't we be more civilized.
ReplyDeletechuck,I'd rather be out hunting,then sitting here reading all the crap you post on here,by saying us Vermonters,does that mean your a killer of innocent animals,i bet if they could read your post's on here they'd die of boredom.
DeletePersonally Chuck, I'd rather get a deer from nature instead of a cow that was treated inhumanely and pumped full of steroids to grow faster and stronger.
Delete4:19 and 9:44-- I disagree with the comments that "Chuck Gregory" posted at 11:58. It was clearly posted by my evil twin, the same jerk who is always taking money out of my bank account. I think hunting is good for both the hunters and the deer population, although the pictures of deer guts don't do well on gift calendars. It's just too bad the administrator of this blog can't prevent impostors from appropriating the names of God-fearing, right-thinking, patriotic Republicans like me.
DeleteTipoff to the fact the post was a fake-- it was only 14 words long. Evil twin, you will PAY for this....
Idea for you Chuck,
Deletestart your own blog if you don't like this one.
The rationale is that without hunters, the deer would overpopulate resulting in many suffering a slow lingering death from winter starvation. The farmers killed off the wolves and other predators long ago to protect their livestock. But deer predators aided the gene pool by always only taking out the weakest and slowest in a herd. Hunters aim for the biggest and strongest, if they happen to sight more than one.

Is hunting deer bad for the environment?
Hey, admin, any way of dealing with impostors?
DeleteAh Chuck. How do you know these deer are innocent. I witness them stealing grass and apples all the time. A quick death, followed by slow roasting seems a fitting penalty. And ooooo so tasty. Besides, you won't let me keep my guns unless the guns are only used for 'hunting'. So does that mean you want to take my guns away Chuck??? Say it ain't so!!!!
ReplyDeleteActually, I would be much happier if you keep your guns forever, as many of them as you want to own.
DeleteI think there is nothing more satisfying for a guy to do than spend a day in the woods, away from everything that civilization has foisted upon him, getting a taste of what it used to be like before coal fired furnaces and steam power began all those changes that took so much control over his life-- and if he comes back with a winter's worth of vittles, so much the better.
Chuck, if you want things the way they "used"to be,then would you stand on the corner yelling the news or would you be the town joker? Before newspapers.You would be lost without your computer to spout your diatribes.
DeleteYour ramblings from above sound like you actually experienced life back then.I know you portray yourself as knowing all and certainly you have something to say about everything ,however I am certain you were not alive before coal fired furnaces.
Hey Euell Gibbons Gregory, just keep gnawing on those pine trees and waste away to nothing...
ReplyDeleteYou know what's really great about gnawing on pine trees? No need to floss, and all the fiber my doctor's been nagging me to increase all these years!
DeleteI try to limit my posts, pro or con, directly regarding a topic.
ReplyDeleteTo get back on topic.
How many deer were hit by cars within each district? what's the acreage of public land vs. private land (with 'no hunting signs')? recurring VT hunting license holders vs. higher paying flatlanders? There's a good reason to have a game warden.
How about how much land, owned by flat landers is posted? Especially in Springfield the number must be staggering.
DeleteIf it weren't for your so called "flat landers" what tax revenue would this poor town have? We should thank them for bringing their money, how else would this town survive? On industry?.. yea right...
