It's sad that even with an important health issue, the hunters are willing to push their agenda to kill more animals, rather than promote known methods of reducing Lyme Disease or support new, promising and realistic alternatives to the hunters' unproven method of killing deer to reduce Lyme Disease.
Finally an astute reporter has delved beneath the surface of the standard "hunting as herd reduction" approach. How interesting that now some scientists from the CT Agriculture Station are saying many of the things that hunting opponents have been saying for years.
