laws be liberalized because of the county’s predominantly agricultural character. It seemed, however, like a token gesture. Bankston himself said hunting laws would not change for two years.
So the orchardists left the meeting with little hope of the county or state coming to their aid. Charles Foster, who has lost about 25 percent of his 300 acres of orchards to deer damage, stated his one remaining option. “I’ll have to kill them (the deer) unless the county can do something to eliminate them.”
The situation for orchardists seems bleak, especially if the State Game Commission won’t budge.
We suggest that the supervisors seek the advice of Delegate Raymond “Andy” Guest. In an interview, which appears in this issue, Guest said he would take up the matter with the State Game Commission if Rappahannock’s supervisors asked him to.
We hope the supervisors take Guest up on his offer.
