Last fall i was hunting in St. Albans Vermont with a friend
on his In-Laws land... I was walking along when i noticed a lot
of blood on the snow covered ground... After taking a good look
i saw a small doe with a hind quarter chewed off... I didn't see
any bullet holes, I think it was a Coy-Dog or something...
When i caught up to my frien he was holding a small set of
fork horns... He found a dead buck with the neck chewed up...
It was unusal for 2 dead deer in one day, It was the first time
i had seen anything like this in the wild...

To prevent future occurrences of this nature you should report this to
an active hunting/wildlife group or game and fish unit in your area.
I'm involved with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and we do alot of
habitat improvement projects. Some of which are the taking down of
fences that are no longer needed. we also install jump fences where
fences are still needed. A jump fence is a post that has a hook which
holds the top strand down and the bottom strand up. thus, allowing
game to more safely cross the fence either over or under the fence.
we are also starting to replace the top strands with a non-barbed wire
(smooth wire). this will prevent some cuts and slashes on the game
that don't jump high enough.
Find an active group and plan a project like this. advertise the
project in the papers and you'll find that there are alot of hunters
out there that care enough to help out either in time, money, tools or
materials. the forestry service can supply you with alot of tools,
likewise the game and fish dept.
Prevention is the key,
Scott

Jeff,
Did you contact a game warden after you found the deer?
Would be a good idea as what you found sounds even like it could
have been domestic dogs as well... I've seen them chase deer but
haven't found any dead ones yet (and hope never to). Also, was
it during deer season, or later?

Another type of tragedy is when you scout your hunting area and
find a condo develepment on your deer-stand and the clear brook
that you once drank from and cleaned you freshly taken buck in
is now muddy and discolored as well as rubbish everywhere.
Seems every year we hunters are pushed further and further North.
By the time my 23 month old son is of age He will be hunting in
Canada and will never know what his own backyard had to offer in
these the good old days in New England.
Because of computers ive been hearing a lot about paperless offices.
I know this is a long way off, but how long ? and what happens to
the paper companys ? Do they sell all the land ? Or most of the
land ? Who buys it ?
Times are and have been changing for us the hunter for a long time.
It seems today we can't just be Good-Hunters, we must be politicians,
lawyers, environmentalists, surveyers and what ever else it takes.
