A bit of backstory: Grouch Attack used to deer hunt occasionally but hasn't for several years after Grandkids got old enough to hunt and were filling the freezer easily.
After a couple of mild winters and other factors, the deer have become a problem during summer causing considerable crop damage. Additionally, MDC in their infinite wisdom has unilaterally determined that each hunter can only harvest 2 antlerless deer in our county. In past years, I'd been buying tags to kill does on our own land to control the numbers but now that's not allowed so GA was going to get some landowner tags and harvest her 2 doe quota to help out.
Guess that's not going to happen(not this year anyway) since the landowner permitting system has become so high-tech that a landowner can't just ask for and receive free deer tags w/o jumping through numerous hoops and filing various forms which most certainly will not be done by day after tomorrow.
WHY does everything have to be so complicated and onerous???? With a couple of phone calls, I can get permission to kill deer in the soybean fields during summer and let them rot but we can't get tags to kill them during regular season and donate to the food pantry. Something is wrong with this scenario.
