They were allowing 85 hunters and each hunter could take 3 does. Now, I am out at Watkins a lot. I often got out there, park, and read my paper. In the last 3 1/2 months I had seen exactly 6 deer. This is for background information only. 72 of the allowable 85 hunters showed up. During that two-day hunt they killed exactly 14 deer. Wait, it gets worse. Two hunters managed to get their 3 deer each. So, those two hunters took 6 of the 14 total deer killed. That means 70 hunters managed to get 8 deer in two days. No one around here can figure why the hunt went on knowing there were so few deer in the park. That blue-tongue-type disease had severely impacted the herd two years ago. No wonder to me that only 14 were taken. -------------------- Member DU, Delta Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names - John Kennedy Post Extras
