Stop the DNR" I purchased several and put one up on my property next to where someone poached a deer during the dnr deer culling season. Long story short the DNR stole the sign it was found by State Policemen in the office of the DNR on the boss' desk The State's Attorney dropped charges because the DNr Geographic Info specialist who stole the sign "made a mistake and didn't realize he was on private property". I would like to save the state money and end this program but I cost them thousands when they hired their high priced lawyer to defend them.Jim Blackmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099257270613244392.post-90083148804381152102012-04-16T13:19:09.036-05:002012-04-16T13:19:09.036-05:00Interesting.

I live just over the line in CT and they have passed laws on transporting deer from NY to CT because of the CWD.Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830058102437654727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099257270613244392.post-6411672403483331402012-04-16T08:07:35.989-05:002012-04-16T08:07:35.989-05:00Thanks for the input Blake.

It's a HUGE waste of money IMO. Where i hunt in wisconsin used to be in the heart of the CWD zone, and we've never shot a deer that had it (they used to make you test them when we were in the eradication zone, it's now optional where we hunt) They made baiting in wisconsin counties illegal as well.Blake Frautschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04449592250442290274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099257270613244392.post-79355336720155218062012-04-14T14:48:46.133-05:002012-04-14T14:48:46.133-05:00I believe the sharpshooting programs are bad news,...I believe the sharpshooting programs are bad news, simply because hunters can do the same job at no additional expense to the tax payers. I Understand the challenges that confront hunters in suburban areas as i myself hunt water fowl with in sight of the NYC skyline; however, if we can put a man on the moon DNR departments and hunters can come up with another solution.
