Free Deer!
Well, not really free. And no trophy racks - only doe tags. And it sounds like you don't get to keep the kill:
Will County is looking for volunteer sharpshooters to cull female deer from five of its forest preserves.
The aim is to reduce the number of deer to between 20 to 30 per square mile. The Will County Forest Preserve District estimates that's anywhere from 332 to 406 deer.
Using their own rifles, applicants will be required to hit a 1.9-inch circular target at 50 yards five times with only five attempts allowed. Applicants also will have to pass, among other things, a criminal background test and a drug-screening test.
Sounds like a ready-made live fire exercise for SWAT. Be sure you read the comments attached to the original article. The hunters appear to hold their own against the liberal anti-hunter/anti-gun people who'd rather see hundreds of deer starve to death or get hit by cars.

Hate to admit it sometimes, but I like Bambi and am not crazy about hunting and killing animals.
Curious, but handling a homicide crime scene affects me a lot less.
Does that make me a bad person?
These liberals never manage to connect the dots on their little causes that they champion. Shooting Bambi is just mean! well, dumb-asses, allowing Bambi to starve to death is even worse. The dopes just never take credit for the folly of their positions.
AWWWWWWWWWW leave the deer alone!
Will the potential snipers have to pass a power test? Remeber you must be in shape to control your weapon and hit the target.

Hmmm? Something we should consider in da 'hood?

at ISU i took a conservation class. it was loaded with tree huggers. the professor said "if you really care about conversation you will get a gun, a tag, and harvest a deer. the libs went nuts. the farm boys just nodded in agreement.
See this on Wildlife Attitudes and Perceptions in Illinois:

Upshot is that urban citizens don't understand that hunting is not a threat to wildlife and is likely beneficial.
I only hunt the greatest game of all...man.

Best you leave hunting to the hunters in that case.
The people from Hegewisch could do the job. They are born hunters. Why just yesterday, we had the possum stew, venison chops and the duck soup after hunting at the Nike site.

dat sounds like you trying to give me a job i don't want no part of dat
There is no debate on the issue of deer being a managed herd. The bunny-huggers are arguing against science.
Dr. Gary Alt has proven this over many years in totally quantifiable, real world, inarguable headcount terms. It's gotten to the point that the herd in many states is now so thick that culling must be done, whereas many years ago, prior to the herd being proactively managed, starvation was taking such a heavy toll that some states like Minnesota- with one of the staunchest deer-hunting traditions of any state- actually had to declare moratoriums.
The bunny-huggers argue emotion and Bambi, Dr. Alt argued provable science and thank god, Dr. Alt prevailed.
Thank you, Dr. Alt, for everything you've done for Sportsmen. You are a true hero of our community.

Can we hunt the liberals instead? Less meaty but very tasty!
