Bloody Americans...
It would truly be a deermagedon if the deer weren't thinned. Local report of a driver hitting a deer and losing control of the car. Car hits tree. Baby seat in back isn't buckled down.
Keeerect.
Quite true. The hunters bring the predator/prey balance closer to what is needed to keep the deer from overpopulating. In some areas such as Ann Arbor Michigan the cute and fuzzy lovers restricted hunting of all forms - and the deer population got out of hand. The city had to PAY " sharpshooters" in to cull the herd. Cute and fuzzy solution - spend even MORE money - and capture and sterilize the deer.
My solution?
Have bowhunters PAY for the privilege of hunting there - after demonstrating their accuracy on a life size deer target. The fees collected would more than offset the cost of one minimum wage examiner. Hell - I' ll bet they could find volunteers.
