“Deer were killed and delivered safely to the processor,” J. Merlin Benner of Tioga County-based Wildlife Specialists LLC said in an email, declinging [sic] to provide more details.
We need to find out who the processor is. Feller said that Benner is not required to say until the culling is over.
At the high school this morning, someone released crickets inside the school. Pretty symbolic and creative, guys!!!

Update March 11, 2015 8:27 PM Very disturbing comment submitted concerning the amended Game Commission permit:
I would like to reference condition six of the revised Game Commission Permit amendment approval 03/09/15. “Listed sub-permittees, acting under contract with the township may remove deer from the project area by capturing deer using baited clover traps and/or portable corral traps and subsequently shooting the deer. Listed sub-permittees may utilize SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLES IN .223 CALIBER TO SHOOT THE DEER. The lie the commissioners told the public was it was going to be a bolt action rifle.
No way you can kill six deer in a small pen with six bolt action shots; PERIOD!
The PGC authorized the use of MILITARY style assault weapons to cull the deer and the commissioners were OK with it. THIS is complete BS! I’m tired of the municipality trying to “sanitize” the slaughter. They are losing the PR war, we need to keep increasing the pressure!
