Deer being forced out

This is a correction to the deer problem on our highways.

Have you rode through the Sandhills Game Lands lately? Our Wildlife Commission, along with the NC Forest Service, has destroyed the habitat of all living creatures by spraying to kill all acorn trees, then burning what’s left to grow nothing but Pine trees.

Food plots are no longer planted, except to grow grass on the human waste disposal now accepted by Wildlife Commission from the waste department.

Deer have to leave their habitat to survive, and that’s on the highways where they eat the grass planted by DOT, and near your home, where they eat your garden, plus foxes, coyotes and all other dangerous animals leave and will be playing with your children.

We got more deer in downtown then in the woods. Ride through the Sandhills Gamelands and look for yourself, then write your Governor. She don’t do nothing else, but draw a salary anyway.

Mr. Quick, I'm glad you wrote this letter. I did not know that was going on. I have lived here for more than 21 years, and one of the things I like about this county is the abundance of woods. Now they're not so abundant, thanks to this so-called progress. For the reasons you have stated -- especially the loss of habitat for the wildlife -- I'm not terribly thrilled about all that construction going on on U.S. 1. Not only that, that big four-laner is going to take away the rustic charm I get out of a trip between Hamlet and Aberdeen. We'll never see it again. This county is slowly but surely becoming californicated, like Raleigh and Charlotte. Come on, folks, speak up!
