Dead Republican Loses in West Virginia

John Rose Sr., 60, the Republican candidate for West Virginia's House
of Delegates in District 47, died on 31 October during Hurricane Sandy,
when a tree limb fell and landed on him while he was checking the
fences on his deer farm in Phillipi. (The farm breeds whitetail deer
as prey for hunters.)
Rose remained on the ballot, pitted against incumbent Democrat Mary
Poling, who was seeking her seventh term and is chair of the House
Education Committee. In case Rose won, the Barbour County Republican
Executive Committee would select three people to fill the vacancy.
Those names would go to the governor, who would select the new delegate
from among those three. (Local Republicans were angry that the West
Virginia secretary of state ordered the posting of signs at all polling
places to inform voters that Rose had died, but it was done under state
law, which mandates the signs, and dictates their wording.)
In the end, Poling won re-election, with 3,596 votes to Rose's 2,973.
Another candidate, Henry "Butch" Hoppe, filed as a write-in candidate a
day or so after Rose's death, but only 54 write-in votes were cast in
the election, and not all of them may have been for Hoppe.

I read the text on the website. The farm is named Gone Huntin'
Whitetails. "Shooter bucks" are mentioned. The only question I had
was whether they also sell deer for meat.
The wording at the website is a little obscure, perhaps for the same
reason my local (rural) paper keeps referring to deer hunting season as
"the harvest."

My brother is the meat cutter at this farm and this is harvest season.
They fly in from all the country on their private jets to hunt a deer
that is released in a huge parcel of land. The deer are not tied to a
tree. Many times the hunter spends several days looking for their prey
and don't find it. The deer is caught and harvested.
The BIG BUCKS trophy hunters only want their trophy. They don't want the
meat and it goes to a good cause.
They have around 1,500 - 2,000 head of deer. The antlers are ground up
into a powder and the Chinese love that white powder.
I was up there last year and helped my brother cut up two deer. Two
Catholic priests from Nova Scotia shot two deer. My brother told me to
not cuss, because they're priests. He also told me to check out their
$4,000.00 guns. The priests wanted their meat.
I DO NOT HUNT.
I got my 6 point White Tail deer in 1985 and I used a 1976 KZ900 KAWASAKI.

I just read the link I posted and they say 1,000 deer. I've been there
when they had many more deer.

farm and he said "shooter bucks" are essentially archery targets. I read
the info on the site and he said your assessment is 100% accurate.
These " shooter bucks " are indeed being sold for hunting.

I would hope so. A lot of people who are not hunters like venison.
Venison stew is very popular.

Deer are very prolific. As I understand it if they are not hunted, or
their numbers thinned out they eventually suffer a painful death, either
from starvation or because they're hit by cars. It is hard to miss the
number of dead deer on the road side.
Some deer hunters use bow and arrows to hunt. That is a very cruel way to
hunt and it should be outlawed.
