If there is one thing Wisconsinites love, we are told, it is murdering poor defenseless Bambi with a gun. Democrats love shooting Bambi, Republicans love shooting Bambi, independents and children and cripples and ladies and men all LURVE killing them some deer. Sometimes for food, sometimes to preserve their public lands from deer overpopulation, sometimes to have dominion over all God's beasts or something. This is the most bipartisan thing there could possibly be, in Wisconsin. So what did hero Governor Scott Walker do? He appointed as the state's "deer czar" one Dr. James Kroll, who thinks public management of public lands is "the last bastion of Communism."
"The deer herd no longer would be managed as a public resource, but as the private property of wealthy landowners. Wisconsin will become like Europe, where hunting is the privilege of the wealthy."
As my friend once said: "Hunting is not a sport unless the deer can shoot back." But another friend said: "Eat what you kill; kill what you eat". I took that to mean I should suffocate my ground beef in saran wrap before cooking it.
As a long-time resident of rural SW Virginia, I wish them good luck with any form of deer containment. Perhaps when they've accomplished this goal they could move to cat herding.
I suppose selling off all the commons to the highest bidder is sort of a way to avoid the Tragedy of the Commons. Sadly, of course, it replaces it with the Tragedy of Not Having Any Commons.
Stephen Colbert would like a word with you.

And like that's a bad thing?

You can't hunt here, it is the Duke of Koch's hereditary forest!
i'm getting the impression that scott walker may not be a good governor.
