    I just heard it on the radio that Every 6 months, you should compare auto insurance rates with several auto insurance companies to find the best deal, also he was saying something about “Clearance Auto Insurance” who provide insurance for dollars. Search online.

    Holly is a moron. Pushing some two bit insurance site to insurance people who know better. Look at their website, which incidentally may have been written by a 4 year old whose second language is English. Offering of Tip #1 is unethical.

    “Conflicts between humans and deer have become an increasing problem in West Virginia, yet the DNR has not developed strategies to adequately deal with the issues,” the audit said

    I think they just need more counseling to resolve these domestic disputes

    How about birth control? In Europe they spread birth control in foodstuffs in the woods. Why can’t we do that? Or have teams of vets go in, tranquilize and put in a birth control chip in the female deer. Is bow hunting their only bright idea? No wonder the deer are so over populated…its West Virginia!

    WV needs more hunters or a longer hunting season.

    Birth control for herds of deer? I think you have something there. Why can’t the same concept work on certain groups of people who can’t seem to stop irresponsibly reproducing at great cost to society?

    Somehow tenderloins, roasts, steaks, and venison burger in my freezer sounds like a more appetizing solution. And a better deal for the state – they get the fees from my hunting licenses.

    if you go the the WV fish & game website, they talk about declining deer herds and having to cut back on hunting due to poor harvests.
    this story doesn’t match what the fish &game dept are saying.

    Agree Sips. Shoot the damn things and eliminate the hazard and the expense they cause.
