Dude...you live in W. Virginia. I'm pretty sure that's totally legal there. Just be glad they're shootin' em and not datin' em.

Q: Why are there so many unsolved murders in W. Virginia?

A: All the DNA matches and there are no dental records.

Can't speak about your local rubes motives...but some of our locals poach for various reasons.

Some are genuinely poor and do it to supplement their larders.

Others do it for the kind of kicks one gets from tweaking the nose of authority.

Some just get a craving for wild meat.

Still others poach deer and then give the meat away.

Predation is a natural and necessary part of nature. Currently, there isn't enough hunting pressure to keep the deer herd from expanding. Arkansas' whitetail population has boomed from a low of 1,000 at the start of the 20th century to a high today of over 1 million animals. Collisions with vehicles have skyrocketed.

Three people were killed about 400 yards from my front door in a vehicle accident caused by a deer crossing the highway.

Simple solution really Nefari, just put razor blades all around the edges of the deer, that'll teach those poachers when they're tryin to drag em down the street!!

Im not saying these nighttime hunters are right. In fact I'd have to agree they are wrong.

But

You move to redneck country then complain about the rednecks?.

This is like people that move to the mountains then get upset the bear get into their trash and the dear,rabbits and other wildlife ravage their vegitable garden.

Or these other folks out west that move next to a cattle ranch then complain about the cattle.

Or the utter idiots a couple towns over from me that move a block away from Raceway Park (local drag racing strip) then comaplain about the sound of the dragsters.

Just what did you think you were going to find?

My feeling is. if you dont want to deal with rednecks. Dont move to redneck country. Dont wanna deal with wildlife, You dont move to the mountains, you dont wanna deal with Cattle you dont move next to a ranch.

And if you dont want to deal with the sound of racecars. you sure as hell dont move next to a racecar track.

My feeling is the culture,customs and traditions of the pre existing indigenous population probably goes back hundreds of years.

When people move into areas like these they should and expect to have to adjust to the way the area is and not expect the area to adjust to them

Not the other way around

As is a part of this countries problem is now as a whole

People come in and we are expected to adapt to them and not them to us.

Huh Dreidiock?

"My feeling is the culture,customs and traditions of the pre existing indigenous population probably goes back hundreds of years."

I can see it now. "Two feathers, get in the truck. Standing Bear, grab the spot light. We are goin' pit lamping tonight."

While you do have a point that it is bunk to expect everyone else to conform to your standard of living (in the cases you mentioned of moving next door to a race track or the bears in the trash) some things are just not okay.

Pit lamping deer falls right into that category. Deer are dumb enough as is without being stunned by lights.

And hunting in a graveyard? Do they have to put up signs or make laws so people know that they prolly shouldnt be using a burial ground as a recreational area?

Sometimes it is okay to mess up the routine and habits of an existing population. If you moved next door to a person who was fond of cranking his taste of music up to window rattling volume at 3 in the morning would you sit back and say "he was here first?"
Hell no.

If someone goes out near your home all tanked up discharging firearms in a graveyard using spot lights poaching deer are you gonna sit back and say "awww aint that cute, them rednecks are at it again"

Hell no.

I'd be more worried about what they are thinking about using as a backstop, the house in the background ?
