With DNR laws, you cannot hunt within 100 yards of a dwelling. Most homes in Columbia are closer than that making it difficult to control the deer population there. There’s enough trees for them to bed down in, streams for water, and they have gotten used to the humans because (as mentioned previously) there’s no predators out here.

Edit to fix: my husband corrected me—DNR states you can’t hunt within 150 yards of an occupied dwelling.

It’s because there’s more space for them to roam in rural areas.

These are the statements from McCoy on SROs. She said she is undecided.

Chen did an excellent job at hiding their extremely conservative standpoints. Their comments on FARMs is incredibly telling and deeply rooted in severe prejudice. Unfortunately, that didn’t get enough attention.
