When do farmer permits expire this year?

When do the depredation permits expire?

Every year I have a farmer that cuts a strip of corn along the road then rides up and down the road shooting deer. He cut a strip of corn last night so Im expecting some shooting

I am not really sure but I thought they were farm and situation specific.

Last year it was my understanding with an extension they could go to Nov 15th. 

All the corn around me has been down for a month now except for this guys corn.  

You would think for a farmer to claim a deer problem to leave a crop standing longer than needed is losing crop every day it stands.

If you harvest corn early you then need to dry it before storage, spending big buck on fuel to do it. If you let the corn sit to late winter the corn does not need to be dried but you loses some to deer. My farmer claims its cheaper and less work to let deer have little more.

November 15 sounds right. It definitely does not extend into a firearms season.

I think in my area it ends after they have killed 95% of the population.

Ive seen this before. As soon as they cut that strip along the road the drive by shooting begins

I know we are deer hunters but my family still has a dairy farm in NJ . about 700 acres of alpha fa and 200 acres of corn.

The deer actually are like rats to them. They eat what they need to feed their cows. The more they eat the more food they have to buy! 

They would like every deer dead if they had their choice.   This is one reason i do not hunt the farm or surrounding area anymore. 

Before the permits it was the best place to hunt you could ever ask for. ( 40 years ago)

Of course. I any of us put time and money to feed our animals,  and some critter just ate it, we may feel the same way. No one likes losing money
