I went to Friendship to the blackpowder shoot early Saturday morning. I nearly hit 2 deer on 46 on the East side of town, within city limits.
An elderly friend of mine hit a deer (actually the deer jumped into the windshield of his Caddy ;D) on the Vernal Pike of the West side at high noon. This incident took place a month ago.
Tonight, after returning from Friendship, I sat down with The Bloomington Herald. On the front page was an account of a woman's dog that was killed (trampled) by a doe within Bloomington's city limits yesterday. Of course a fawn was soon discovered in some "shrubbery". The woman now fears having her grandchildren in the yard unattended.
SO, I think that Bloomington is ripe for an urban deer season. That said, I can not imagine the level of opposition such a hunt would draw from Bloomington's granola eating left-wingers!
I wonder how long it will take some of them to suggest sirens, birth control, relocation, etc, etc, etc, in lieu of some nice humane and ethical bow kills to produce some venison, check the overpopulation and protect the citizens, automobiles, and canines of the fine city of Bloomington?
I can hear the bongo drums already! ;D Now, .... where did I put my sandals and tie-dyeds???
