Deer are a pestilence. Their numbers are nearly out of control in some areas in. MD. On our farms hunters are given a quota. Harvest X number or your lease will not be renewed. I now pay half the cost of processing them if donated to the local food bank. I want 150 taken out of the population, I would love 200+ and the farmer would like twice that number. Even then I know others will just move into the empty space. But something must be done because nothing expands forever before it collapses due to disease.
Its unreal the number of deer we have in MD. Look at any field in September or October and you will see from half a dozen to several dozen deer broken up into small groups. How any crops manage to make it to harvest is a mystery to me. so Stan I feel for you because I know you have the same problem with all the timber around every little field. Sleep in the woods and eat in the fields.
