Farmed Deer Shot and killed in my County

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Another example of the importance of educating the public about preserve hunting.

i read it. i have never been to a deer farm, didnt even know about them till i came here last summer....the comments are from a bunch of idiots that have no clue whatsoever. to me no different than raising quail, cows or chickens. the real issue is the tresspassers who slaughtered the deer strictly for their mounts. i sincerely hope they are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law....such a tragedy and someone is gonna know about that prize trophy rack when he tried to have it mounted...



we had something like that happen in Montgomery here several years ago. A man collected exotics like big deer, buffalo, etc. people would drive by his property (which bordered a main road but was high fenced) and stop and take pics. it was a big treat for all to drive by and see a buffalo or huge buck or whatever else was there. some fools one nite shot the biggest buck. well the city folks went into a rampage over the needless slaying, and i dont really remember but i think they got the guys responsible (turned in by his buddies) and he was prosecuted to the fullest....





but i agree that the general public needs to be informed. they see high fence or preserve hunts as shooting fish in a barrel....they slam the industry before they even know the first thing about it......

This is one of the things we are trying to accomplish, educate the general public and we do need your help. A small group has already purchased a double booth at the harrisburg Sportsman show, purchased a banner for the booth, purchasing entry pads, purchasing education material, we have several ranches that have donated doe and buck to give away to get the general public out to see what it is all about. We need to educate the general public now, not later as to the benifits, safety and fun a ranch can be for a family. We need your financial support to help pay for all of this. This is a plea to all PA farmers to rise up and help make a change in attitude, to help grow our industry back to where it was and more, to change attitudes of people who just have no idea but they talk like they do. Go to "Industry and Planning" - "your help is needed" on the forums and let your voice be heard by donating to this cause. We have a short window to raise the needed funds so take a stand and let your voice be heard, make a differance by donating.

What bad luck first your house burns down now your deer get shot. Thank goodness for insurance!!!
