Some things just rub me the wrong way and i can't hold my tounge. Some poor sob in Cleveland got 4 charges brought against him because he shot a doe in his backyard eating his landscaping, but the state hires "sharpshooters" to cull the deer heard. Bullshit!
Mike,
Good morning! Please see attached article below, this is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard of happening. If the state of Ohio is so worried about car-deer collisions why do you not open up an archery only season within these parks. There are hundreds of people who could actually get some sport out of these hunts rather than a mass killing with sniper rifles. The state could make money and people would have the opportunity at some very large deer within the city limits. The more and more I hear about the State of Ohio the more it sounds like Washington. Just the other day a guy shoots a crossbow in his back yard at a deer that is eating his landscaping and he gets 4 charges placed against him, doesn’t that seem a bit odd and calling the kettle black? I mean guys with high powered rifles are able to shoot 100’s of deer within city limits but a guy who is witnessing property damage at home can’t shoot on his own property with a bow and arrow. Horseshit, if you ask me!
Some things need to change.
Ohio man on dirt bike interrupts deer harvest
MENTOR, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say a man crashed a dirt bike in a northeast Ohio park where SWAT team sharpshooters were using high-powered rifles to cull the deer herd.
Mentor Police Chief Kevin Knight said the officers were shooting deer from tree stands when the man rode a dirt bike into a closed-off area of Morton Park, east of Cleveland. Officers gave chase, and the man rode off into the woods where he crashed.
An officer on an ATV found the 36-year-old man pinned under the bike. He was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and will face criminal charges.
The city got permission from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for four SWAT team snipers to harvest deer. They're trying to reduce the number of car crashes caused by the animals.
