    I didn't realize our European neighbors were so anxious to go deer hunting. Why else would they come to northern MN? :wtf: 12 from Great Britain, Ireland arrested after illegally entering Minnesota from Canada - Bring Me The News[^]

        I was under the impression that UK citizens dont need US visa.

          They had better chosen the Netherlands, there are lots of animals that they want to get rid off: Boar, beavers, deer, geese... the Netherlands is in for the cull - DutchNews.nl[^] :-\

              Nope - only if you're coming in from our southern border do you not need a visa.

                They don't need visas, but somehow they must have crossed the border without checking in. That's not easy to do, but there isn't a lot of traffic in this area, so there might be crossings that aren't staffed 24x7.

                  In Norway, we also hunt deer, partially because there is not enough food for them all (so they find a lot of food in cultivated farmland - in some areas, it has been claimed that half the crop is eaten by deer!), but also because the meat is popular - and the hunting is popular! (Norway has about the same gun density as the U.S, but we aim the weapons at animals.) Close to fifty thousand deer was shot last year. These are of the bigger deer variants, according to Wikipedia: 'Red deer' (the Norwegian name is 'hjort'), females typically 160 kg, males 250 kg. However, we do not plan to extinguish them. We don't want to extinguish any species belonging to the native, Norwegian fauna. If a species is endangered, hunting will not be allowed. Widespread hunting for food is permitted only if there are plenty of animals, and the red deer population is estimated to 200-250,000 and growing. We also have a comparable number of moose ('Elg'), about forty thousand are hunted every year, but each animal is larger, males typically 4-500 kg. Hunting is strictly regulated here: Authorities specify the maximum number of males, females and calves each hunting team is allowed to shoot, to ensure that the population is not eradicated and does not grow out of control.

                    :thumbsup::thumbsup: :-D :-D

                    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
