    was traveling through a local forest the night that is full of deer and there was about 50 people out through the forest with flashing lights and rifles lamping the deer. i cannot get over the hypocrissy where they talk about sustaining a deer population and then get about 10 men to go out and near clear the forest out over a number of nights!!

    Was it a sanctioned shoot, as in a culling by the gov?

    welll men, sorry for the late reply the shooting was being done inside the forest along closed forest roads that only someone with the keys could get in through, the fact that there were flashing beacons and hazards lights on the vehicles flashing shows that it was sanctioned and was used to for public safety.

    I am confident they were shooting deer as we sat and watched menj jump out from a jeep witha couple of rifles on their backs and shortly after another car pulled up with a trailer full of deer.

    i dont know what RTC's are so cant comment on that

    i seen the lights flashing across pastures and moss where the deer would be feeding so ive a good enough idea that thats whats going on.
