A sad day in The People's Republic of Illinois

[dosbow56]

It's a sad day here in the Heartland. Both the House and the Senate voted in favor of HB3425, Local Deer Population Control. It, in effect, allows a municipality to do a study and petition the IDNR to control the local deer population by means other than hunting. Use your imaginations on this one! Thanks to Vermonster for the heads up on this and to all that contacted thier State Rep. For the other 49 states not YET affected, be vigilant. This SUX bad!  :mad:

I am very suprised it passed. all the study and trials (shooting does with abortion shots and birth control ect. ) shows it was very costly and does not work. They will be paying a million dollars for sharp shooter in yellowstone, instead of making a million letting the hunters in. Illinios is a lot more liberal. I dont think it would go over as easy in Mo. jmho.

does this ban deer hunting in Illonois?

[vermonster13]

It makes it possible for towns to vote for non-hunting control measures.

It's a step in that direction. This is just how they slowly eat away at our privileges a little at a time until there gone.  :mad:

This might fly in Highland Park where they equate the local white-tail eating the tulips in their garden with Bambi, but I can't see the towns in Central and Southern Illinois jumping on this bandwagon. I think it's very much a liberal Chicago suburb thing.

I'm not even a hunter and I've let my representatives know I am against this. Hopefully we can get it vetoed!
