$50,230.00  to Kill  ( 18 )  Deer in Redding

             Redding, CT., White Buffalo, Inc. was paid  $50,230.00, for killing ( 18 ) deer in Redding, CT under the CDC ITM Tick Study currently being run by the CAES ( Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station ). In 2014 they killed ( 18 ) deer which is  $2,790.55  per deer. White Buffalo again broke the rules set by CT DEEP Wildlife by shooting an additional  2,690 feet ( 1/2 mile  West ) outside of the White Birch Road test area. After year two of the study it has come to light that White Buffalo, Inc. and the CAES have broken a number of both State and Federal laws in the town of Redding, CT and now the public and State of Connecticut need to hold them accountable for these violations which they have committed under the special permission guidelines granted them by the CT DEEP. Will the CT DEEP and the Redding PD press charges for the numerous violations committed or will they give White Buffalo, Inc. a pass as they did in Greenwich, CT because of their 26-7 CT DEEP volunteer status ? This is just the latest in a pattern of CT DEEP and the Redding PD`s bad behavior and disregard for Connecticut law.
