Seems STL and NYC have deer problems. A company, White Buffalo, is involved in their wildlife management. In STL deer are hunted, processed and the meat donated to shelters. NYC has decided to hire them to sterilize bucks. White Buffalo reportedly won a no-bid emergency contract and has so far "snipped" 1,456 bucks at $2,652.95 per animal. The three year program will run 4.1 million. Ann Arbor, MI was considering White Buffalo's doe sterilization until state Rep. Triston Cole sponsored a bill banning the process as "cruel" because of the stress of the tranquilization process. Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder signed the bill Dec. 19th.

just missed two deer about an hour ago returning home from dinner.

thats 4-5 near misses on local roads since the X game.

146,000 taken as of Christmas Day, which is a marked drop-off. Hunting is a rapidly declining activity in Ohio and effecting the economies in SE Ohio

Didn’t know The White Buffalo did this between gigs.

Coastal elites slowly realizing that gun control was a much more affordable method to keep the toxic masculinity of deer at reasonable levels.

I run a landscaping business and a member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. (NALP). Deer overpopulation is a massive problem for our industry. There is a huge list of plants, shrubs and trees that we call deer food now. No sense planting them because, unless treated several times in winter with deer repellent, they will be munched to pieces. Even plant species that are poisonous to deer are being eaten!
Athens has one of the highest deer population per square mile in the state up on the Ridges. No hunting allowed but the deer go out of there into the surrounding neighborhoods to graze. The auto insurance companies will tell you that the deer collisions are off the chart. We all pay through higher insurance premiums. Count the dead deer bodies on the side of the road. I counted seven between Athens and Parkersburg two weeks ago.
One last thing, one of the appalachian southern states fenced off a two acre area with deer fencing and guess what?, the early ground plants like trilliums and others that emerge in early spring before the leaves emerge covered the forest floor. Outside the fence, bare ground. The ecosystem is being severely strained by the monoculture of deer overpopulation.

To paraphrase General Phil Sheridan, of Somerset, Ohio, "The only good deer is a dead deer!" Hate those varmints. Rats with antlers, they are.

Why did you do that? Afraid his aim was bad? Sounds like a neighborhood hero to me! ;-)

Let me drive through their neighborhoods in my Civic. I've hit three of them in my lifetime. They're attracted to destroying my cars. I'll take care of it.

My sister and her husband once hit a cow in a T-Bird. Don't recommend that, either.
