to more accurately reflect current market prices. 69. DEER HERD REDUCTION Farm Bureau recommends reduction of the deer herd to 18 deer per square mile. In order to accomplish this we support: An additional black powder season from Nov. 1- 15 An increase in the season bag limit Requiring all hunters to bag an antlerless deer before bagging a second buck 70. DEER DAMAGE STUDIES Farm Bureau recommends the economic losses caused by deer be ascertained. Specifically: • A study by the Division of Forestry detailing impacts on the timber industry • A study by the Department of Agriculture and West Virginia University detailing losses to farm products, grasslands, nursery products, agro forestry, gardens, landscaping, orchards, fences and any other property damage caused by deer • A study by the Insurance Commissioner detailing vehicle damages, injuries and loss of life due to collisions with deer WVFB recommends the elimination of any cost-sharing program specifically designed to enhance the deer population. 71. INTRODUCTION AND/ OR REINTRODUCTION OF SPECIES, INCLUDING ELK We support a diverse environment rich in wildlife and 20 West Virginia Farm Bureau News
plant life; however, we believe that before any person or government entity introduces or reintroduces any plant or animal species to this state that a full agricultural, economic and environmental impact study must be undertaken at the proponent’s expense. If the studies reveal that the introduction or reintroduction may have a negative impact on agriculture, the environment or the safety and well-being of the citizens of this state, the plans for the introduction or reintroduction should cease. If the species is introduced or reintroduced, the governmental agency and/or person responsible for the introduction or reintroduction of the species must assume full responsibility for any damage caused by the species. 72. WILD BIRDS Farm Bureau recommends that the definition of wild birds be as follows: Wild birds means all birds except domestic poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, pea fowls, and turkey) members of the family Psittacidae (parrots and parakeets), other foreign cage birds such as the common canary, exotic finches, ring doves and pen raised game birds such as pheasant, quail, waterfowl, turkeys and chuckar partridge. The term wild bird shall include only those birds that are hatched in the wild and �Ё���ѥ������ѡ��ȁ��ٕ́����Ʌ�͕���Q������ձ�ѥ������ɕͥ���Ё���͔���́������������ͽ����хѕ́�́���Ʌѽ�����ѕɹ́��ٔ����������Q��́���ɕ�͔�ɕ�ձ�́����������ɽ�����������Ё�хє���͠������������ѡ�ɥѥ�́�ɔ�չ�����Ѽ������Ёѡ���ɽ������Ք�Ѽ�����Ʌ����ɥ͑��ѥ����]��������Ё������́��ѡ��T�L���͠�����]��������M��٥����]L�()����ɕ����������Ʌѽ��݅ѕə�ݰ���չ���́Ѽ�����ɽ��ѡ���ፕ�ͥٔ����ձ�ѥ��́������ͽ���ѕ���ɽ����������]��ɕ��������ѡ�Ё��������Ё��ȁ���͔������Չ��������ѡ���չѥ���͕�ͽ����ȁɕͥ���Ё���͔��չѥ��������ѕ������%������ѥ����ݔ������ٔ������ɥ�ձ��Ʌ���ɽ�Ս�ȁ��́ѡ��ɥ��ЁѼ��ɽѕ�Ёѡ��ȁ������̰��䁅�䁵���́�����ͅ�䰁���ѡ���ٕ�Ё��������х�����ѡ����������������ձ��ɔ�ݥѡ��Ё������一�̸� H�M9
