[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1706401, member: 18945"] We were given dominion over the animals for a reason. Not the other way around. I've read lots of accounts of the early settlers in the South and one of the first things they did, was hunt out all the deer and coons close to their homesteads so they could grow something to eat and not have to depend on wild game as their only source of food. When my father first bought this property in 1964, even tho it borders a sprawling National Forest, gardens were everywhere in the county and we raised about 10 acres of corn in addition to our vegetable garden. You could do that back then. That was when deer hunting with dogs was still legal and lots of people just left their dogs run loose day and night and the dogs and hunter kept the deer population down. From 1964 up until about 1972, I never saw a deer here but the 70s brought changes to the law and now, they run amok. When I built my house and set up a place for a veg garden, I had to put up a 6' chainlink fence and even then, they came thru the yard and caused havoc. This year, in just 2 nights, they decimated my grapevine when the scuppernongs were ready. From an old picture, you can see the tall corn on the upper left side of the picture. This would not be possible today. [ATTACH type="full"]8936[/ATTACH] Now... (and there is 1 behind the backhoe) [ATTACH type="full"]8937[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
