Coyotes For Deer Control

As a simple country boy, it’s very difficult for me to even watch the evening news anymore without blowing a fuse! However, sometimes things become so out of whack that you’ve just got to sit back and simply laugh at the madness. It has been reported that the Friends of Animals and Compassion for Animals groups decided to take the Valley Forge National Park Services to court over their decision to cull deer within the park through sharpshooters and birth control. Both groups are passionately arguing that coyotes should be used instead to control the numerous problems associated with the overpopulation of deer at Valley Forge in eastern Pennsylvania.

New Michigan Record Buck?

This buck was reportedly found dead by a lady while walking her dog in southern MI, near Clinton in the area of M-52. She apparently called a friend to come and get it out of there before it would start stinking—she did not even notice whether it was a buck or doe. Just wanted it away from her yard.
