Well I will have to answer this myself as I have had some interaction with the Amish. If for some reason you have a place NEXT to an Amish farm..you will have NOTHING to hunt. They kill it all anytime of the year on their property. And they are not subject to game laws I guess. Game wardens do not mess with them. They are after all a kindly group of people. Now I like the Amish.seriously. But they rented the farm in Md across from me. Killed everything. If it looked like a deer..walked like a deer or talked like a deer..they shot it...especially if it had ANY kind of rack. Talked with them about ruining the deer herd..Told me they rented the farm and they would shoot what they wanted. Now being from Pa they were there during the deer seasons. I lived there and told 'em that. Guy actually said..well so what(his exact words). So I told 'em since I lived there 24-7-365 if they wanted any bucks to hunt they'd better cut back on the killing of the little ones or I would kill 'em all...cause at one time or another those same deer came to my side of the fence. Then they complained to the guy that they rented from and we had a talk. Here is what he did. He told 'em every deer they shot they had to have mounted..except for the first two does. If it was a button buck..it had to be mounted . If they cheated..they lost the lease and all monies they had paid. Since I lived right there..I could go check on these guys..in the agreement with them. Oh my gosh..at more than 300 bucks to mount one..they stopped shootin 'em all. and the deer herd actually came back to it';s former glory. By the way.. I had the waterfowl and quail hunting rights on the farm..and those guys just hated the fact that they couldn't shoot the geese. But after a rollin around period they realized the limits on them were serious...one got fined more than 700 bucks for shooting 4 geese over there when the limit was only one. I made it happen and they immediately got the message..but I didn't call the local game wardens... I called the feds... a number of whom I knew. When it came to costing money..they really got the message and shortly after the workin it out period..they realized it was in their best interests and started finding bucks that were worth mounting. Otherwise the Amish are ok. They think we are godless people but know they came make good money off of us..Go to Pa in Amish country in the summer..They really enjoy makin money off the touristas. And the young guys really like to chase the non Amish girls..LOL. And as far as being honest..well..like most people. Some are only as honest as they need to be. Like most other people.
