Need a spot for a camp that would be utilized 5 to 7 times a month. Somewhere north of SR 40, in or around the Forest. I need a spot to camp only, I have other areas to hunt. Two people and 2 Labs would be using camp, we hunt small game. Can go to $100.00 a month for lease and pay for a year if that would help the deal. Need an area that would be safe to leave the camp set up for 6 months.

Forum: Hunting ]]> http://www.woodsnwater.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=5761298 Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:46:04 GMT http://www.woodsnwater.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=5744044 http://www.qdma.com/media-room/deer-breeding-legislation-2012/

The Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) is urging hunters in seven states to oppose the expansion of the deer-breeding industry, which QDMA perceives as a growing threat to wild deer and the deer-hunting heritage.
Legislation designed to loosen or dismantle regulatory barriers to white-tailed deer breeding and farming is being considered in Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia.
“There are no benefits for deer hunters in the growth of the captive deer-breeding industry – only risks,” said Kip Adams, QDMA’s Director of Education & Outreach and a certified wildlife biologist. “It is QDMA’s mission to protect the future of white-tailed deer and our hunting heritage, and we oppose anything that puts those at risk.”
In opposing the proliferation of “deer breeding,” QDMA is referring to captive deer facilities where controlled, artificial breeding technology is used primarily to produce whitetail bucks with enormous, often grotesque antlers – an industry that includes sales of semen, artificially impregnated does, and live bucks to other breeders or to captive deer shooting facilities. Current estimates suggest there are nearly 10,000 deer breeding operations in North America, and the number is growing as the industry pushes to expand into areas where it was historically not legal.
“Some argue this is an innocent endeavor with no negative impacts to wild deer or the everyday deer hunter. As CEO of North America’s leading whitetail conservation organization, I emphatically and unapologetically disagree,” said Brian Murphy, QDMA’s Chief Executive Officer. “Not only does this industry undermine the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation in which wildlife is a public resource, it also threatens the health of wild deer and the public’s perception of hunting.”
The distribution map of chronic wasting disease (CWD) – a fatal disease of deer and elk – suggests the disease likely arrived in several new states through transportation of live deer, either legally or illegally, and not through natural deer movements. Legalizing deer breeding in new areas increases the incentive for illegal transportation of untested animals at a time when these human-aided movements must be stopped. Transporting any captive whitetails is risky, as there is no acceptable and practical live-animal test  for CWD. Once CWD appears in wild deer in a new area, slowing the spread of the disease requires costly investigation, testing and surveillance efforts for many years and often requires drastic reductions in deer populations. There is currently no known way to decontaminate an environment once CWD is present.
In more than 40 states, regulatory authority over captive deer facilities is held by state agriculture agencies, or shared between agriculture and wildlife agencies. QDMA recommends that wildlife agencies have sole responsibility because they have more experience with wildlife species and wildlife disease issues, and they fully understand what is at stake with regard to transmission of diseases like CWD to free-ranging deer.
“QDMA’s current effort is to halt expansion of the deer-breeding industry,” said Adams. “We also want sole jurisdiction for existing facilities to remain with or be reassigned to state wildlife agencies. Considering the implications for our hunting heritage, we can’t afford to allow this industry to expand. The ramifications of being wrong are simply too great.”
QDMA is currently urging resident hunters to oppose existing or potential legislation in the following states:
Georgia: House Bill 1043 – Legalizes the importation of live whitetails into Georgia for breeding purposes and creates a permitting system for deer-breeding operations, all under the jurisdiction of the state Department of Agriculture. Current status: House second-readers as of February 22.
Indiana – House Bill 1265 – Provides for the licensing and operations of hunting preserves on which farm-bred, captive deer and elk will be hunted. Current Status – Senator David Long (President Pro Tempore) refused to hear the bill. It remains in committee.
Mississippi – Senate Bills 2554 and 2555 – Legalizes importation of captive deer, semen and embryos and authorizes deer breeding facilities, under the jurisdiction of the state agriculture department. Current Status – Both bills referred to Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks Committee on February 20.
Missouri – House Bill 1375 – Adds deer to the definition of “livestock” for the purposes of the state sales and use tax law, meat inspection law, Missouri Livestock Disease Control and Eradication Law, and the Missouri Livestock Marketing Law. Current Status – House second-readers as of February 22.
North Carolina – Currently at the proposal stage; no bill number yet.  The spoken intent is to loosen regulations to allow for expansion of the captive deer industry. A QDMA staff member will attend a board meeting with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in Raleigh on March 7 on this topic.
Tennessee – House Bill 3164 – Present law classifies white-tailed deer as Class IV wildlife, which may only be possessed by zoos, temporary exhibitors, and rehabilitation facilities. This bill adds authorization for possession of white-tailed deer by breeding facilities that receive a permit from the Department of Agriculture to breed or ranch such livestock for purposes determined by the Department. Current Status – Placed on calendar for Agriculture Committee for March 6.
West Virginia – Senate Bill 421 – Captive Cervid Farming Act – Transfers regulatory authority over captive white-tailed deer facilities from the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to the Department of Agriculture.  Current Status – referred to Rules Committee on February 17.

(More detail on everything in rules)

a) 2000 +/- acres all one block, great road system with 10 gates.
b) Went to 11 members this year. (Only 1 person is considered a member/See Guest policy below)
c) $1240 / 1st yr
d) Great, secure, campsite with water (camp generator for camp lights and bathhouse), double skinning rack, full bathhouse, pin board, shed, etc. about a mile from property (Same landowner)
e) Varied terrain. Mix of different stage pines (nothing supposed to be cut for several years), small clear cut at east end, wet areas, thickets, plenty of hardwoods.
f) 20 +/- food plots scattered throughout the property planted spring and fall.
g) 2 bucks, 3 does (or 5 does), 2 gobblers per membership.
h) Guest policy (1 hunting guest per member per trip) Member can bring family/friends (within reason) up with you to enjoy the experience however only 1 other person beside member may hunt during guest days in a separate stand. Max of 4 hunting days per non immediate family guest. This IS NOT a party all night, run all over the place at all hours on your 4 wheeler type property. Don't get me wrong, I'll have a drink or two at the end of the day but we're a pretty relaxed crowd.
i) Pin in /out. 1 personal stand (250 yard radius from stand), 1 members only stand, and 1 members/guest stand per member minimum 1st year. Stand policy is in rules. PLENTY of stand sites available with large blocks of land that have not been stepped in yet.
j) ONLY deer, bear, and turkeys may be hunted in season on primary property. Members will decide where we will set aside 150+/- acres for other/general use.
k) Don't care what state you are in but ask that you to be at least 1.5 hours from the lease. We do have one great local member that keeps an eye on things for us.
l) BEFORE ANYONE ASKS -- NO DOGS for any hunting except tracking a wounded deer if necessary.

I am looking for responsible people who want to start near the beginning to help build a long term, successful club while having fun and still having a reasonable chance to shoot a mature buck. This will be our 2nd year and we are well on our way. Just need a couple more to finish it off. We are looking for "club" folks, not "me" folks. People who not only help but actually like to help. We are there to relax and have fun, not beg people to pull their weight.

Honestly, it was a tough season and we didn't kill a lot of deer but there were several factors that contributed to that. We do have a bunch of trail cam pics so we know they're there and they'll be bigger and more of 'em next season! Best I can guess is that we have a roughly 1:3-1:4 buck to doe ratio and the best buck we have on camera looks to be high 120's low 30's. I wouldn't expect anything bigger than that although I'll not complain if we do. We did have more than 30 different bucks on camera.

The rules are definitely not for everybody but in the end, 90% are pretty much just common sense/courtesy. It'll take longer to read them then to to follow them. My primary objective here is to make sure everyone joining is on a similar page. We're not a super strict QDM club but not a shoot everything on sight either. 3 year old or better bucks preferred but club rule is you shoot it, you mount it unless its someone 16 or under or anyone 1st buck. (1 per membership)

Send me an e-mail and I'll forward you the Google earth area and rules along with my number. Look it over and then give me a call if you're still interested. kevanjones@lycos.com
