| The Buck Stops Here V2.2 |

What?s next, leashes? Hunting preserves are the subject of some controversy, and it looks like Indiana is about to join 11 other states in restricting the methods by which deer in those preserves are taken . In our humble opinion, there?s a reason it?s called ?hunting? and not ?grocery shopping.? In a blog entry about hunting in that other preserve we call ?suburbia,? Greg Alan Store discusses the results of an urban deer population control hunt in Cedar Rapids. Somewhere, there has got to be a study about where the point is in deer populations that they go from ?cute? to ?annoying? to ?dangerous? (because of frequent vehicle accidents).

It was a thin week for articles on deer hunting this week. Must be that time of year, as Dave Richey, notes in Time Is Winding Down For Deer Hunters. Ah, well, now?s the time to be creating all those great venison recipes. Venison is a healthy, low-fat addition to the menu, and the corn-fed deer we harvest here in Illinois are tender and not at all gamey or bitter, (which can happen when deer have been eating landscaping rather than their natural forage).
