I specifically don't think I like the part about leasees ... Does that mean a leasee can wipe out any perceived crop predation threat on an owners land, without the owners consent ?
365 days a yr, day or night ?
And that farm number stuff is too easy to get and not monitored.
This has the makings of something that could be too easily abused.......
To all the nay-sayers, man please. It only legalizes what happens all over SC now. I walk tens of thousands of acres of SC farmland every year and I don’t even have to ask which farmers own electric golf carts and/or thermals. It’s pretty obvious. Give deer the first 8 rows, or more, in every one of my fields? Nah.
I like the cwd or blue tongue option better

What’s the point in the conservation permit I have, then?
There are in fact, too many deer on the landscape!
I'm not saying I support this bill but I'm also not against it at the moment.
Deer numbers are stupid right now and that is a fact.

Wish I was seeing all the deer y’all are!
You ask those same farmers that shoot deer at night if you can hunt their property and see what the vast majority will tell you......
Lots to that argument. Leases, care, etc. I bet if you went to those farmers and tell them you will kill 20 does before you think about a buck they will consider it.

Why not do away with deer tags and let hunters that are much more likely to eat the harvest take the population down instead on them wasted in a ditch by night shooting farmers.
You still have to have access to the property where damage is occurring. As someone alluded to above, they probably won't invite you.
Yet, I suspect some that lease hunting rights on these same lands are selectively taking a few bucks and passing on does.
Where are the coyotes in all this? (/s)
I just rode from Ft Motte to Bowman. I saw no less than 250 deer, mostly in groups of 10-15. In areas with ag and thin woods deer are plentiful/overpopulated. In 2ths pine patches there ain’t a thing to eat and no deer.
Why are people worried about deer? Do they think farmers shooting them at night is really decimating the population or is it more the trophy hunter thinks that is ruining his opportunity to kill the muye grande?
