Children-Only Hunt Proposed in CA
By Dave Hurteau
From the Auburn Journal:
Loomis [Calif.] resident Georgia Kern encountered Placer County’s surging deer population head on — with the front of her Subaru.
“The deer just shot out from the right-hand side of road,” Kern recalled of the night a couple of months ago, when she was driving past Sierra College in Rocklin. “If it was a full-grown buck I could have been seriously injured or it could have gone through the windshield.”
Placer County’s Fish and Game Commission will decide whether to recommend to supervisors a special doe hunt in an effort to thin the herd in Loomis and Granite Bay. One proposal is to open the hunt only to children ages 12-17.
But that’s raised the hackles of some animal-rights activists, who say an organized hunt is an unnecessary and inhumane response that potentially jeopardizes residents’ safety.
“It’s a residential area,” said Victoria Connolly of Auburn. “When people move to a rural area they should be aware that there’s deer around.”

How is a "potential hazzard" ?
If it's that big of a deal(population to close) haow about allowing "Bow Only" hunts.
I would have liked the "kids only" idea, but as usual the Anti's/Bambi huggers will screw that up for them.
SAD.
I'm waiting for the day California elects a pro hunter for a gov. and they overturn every hunting and fishing law that was put in place to limit hunting or fishing. The pissing and moaning that the antis would produce would be music to sportsmens ears.
Yeah lady, like it's humane to run deer over with a subaru? They should have a youth only short range weapon season! Open to bows, crossbows, muzzleloaders, shotguns, hell, teach little jimmy to throw the Atl Atl! Just don't let them die a miserable death at the hands of soccer moms in minivans... I am still waiting for Stephen King to write a novel about killer mini-vans, maybe he could write it from the perspective of Bambi.
When will they realize... it is quite simple... want less accidents= increase doe/deer limits which in turn creates less accidents.
"Deer populations are self correcting" ??? Get a clue lady. A hunt is more humane than mother nature's "self correcting" which will include starvation and/or disease. Not to mention frequent colissions with Subarus and the like.
Gee, I'm not fond of kids, but opening a hunting season for them seems a bit excessive.
