Redding reindeer games!

                                                           " The Fox is Guarding the Henhouse "

    CDC ITM study;   White buffalo, Inc. killed ( 48 ) deer illegally by breaking one or more of the CT DEEP special permission rules given them to operate  ( 131006  & 131006B ). The total number of deer killed / taken is currently 76 for the first two years, out of those 76 deer taken, White Buffalo, Inc. took  48  or  63 %  against the CT DEEP special permission guidelines or rules.     On January 9, 2014,  Rick Jacobson,director of CT DEEP Wildlife Division told a room with  50  Connecticut hunters, " that if White Buffalo, Inc. broke ( 1 ) rule they were out of the CDC ITM study in Redding, CT ".  Needless to say, that has not happened !  The CT DEEP Wildlife Division has bent over backwards and turned a blind eye toward all White Buffalo infractions to the rules they themselves have written, and once the rules were broken stated that the rules or laws no longer apply. ___________________
The 12 best ways to beat a CT DEEP hunting violation -  Say you........
1 - Say you work for White Buffalo
2 - The property I have permission for is actually 1/2 mile to East.......my GPS must be off.
3 - Julia Pemberton told me I could hunt in  Top Stone Park
4 - What do you mean I am on the wrong property, I have been hunting here for years.
5 - I have Lyme disease.
6 - I was only looking for some of the  $900,000.00  CDC grant money.
7 - The property owner said his property borders are loose
8 - I am only using night vision because I have trouble seeing deer during the day.
9 -  I found the deer on the side of the road and I am checking it in to get a replacement tag !
10 - What do you mean it`s against the law to shoot from my vehicle, I have a handicap permit !
11 -  Do you have a picture of me doing that ?
12 - Last but not least;  I am here with the CAES  ITM study and the rules do not apply to me.
