With the Pro's, then you have someone that you know is responsible and wont harm anything else. How would one go about getting on a crew like that??? Here in IA, we don't have that problem, but if we did, I would definitely be getting into that business. Paid to hunt all the time... What a life.
Haven't you seen how much they paid that crew to thin the herd in Iowa City? Cedar Rapids lets Archers take a proficiency test and allows hunting in the city, but Iowa City does not. They paid a professional team to hunt them at night with suppressed rifles and night vision technology. IIRC, they used the meat at a local food pantry, and the processor was in trouble for processing the venison on the same equipment (though different batches with tear downs in between) as his normal inspected meat.
