If you are right, and it is really 1910, I'm going on a real estate buying binge. I think I will short the DOW Jones in the summer of 1929 and make a killing.

"....Unfortunately, there is no easy way to control a fast-growing population of animals that have few natural predators in most of the range they inhabit...."
Sure there is....open season on deer; no bag limit. Dummies.

I shot Bambi's mother 3 weeks ago with my muzzleloader. Then I shot her again last week with a shotgun. Those tenderloins were great.
To: ppaul
promote the shooting of does Here in northeast Texas, we see deer grazing on the right-of-way or crossing the road almost every time we drive anywhere. And we usually have from one to four deer grazing in our yard each morning and evening. But we have lived here over a year and have yet to see the first antlered deer!
Members of the family hunting here on the place usually get a few respectable bucks each year -- but the bucks are few and far between. OTOH, the does are like fleas -- all over the place.
We have a couple of antlerless deer permits for our (300+ acre) place, but it is obvious that the best medicine for the overpopulation problem would be a couple of years of open season on does -- and closed season on bucks.
Shoot Bambi's mother -- please!!

This is what I do: melt a little butter (okay, a LOT of butter--I'm from Wisconsin, you know) in a large frying pan. Brown the venison steaks or chops. Add in a diced onion, some sliced fresh mushrooms, some garlic, some red wine or beer and saute until fork tender.

When my Wisconsin-born & raised daughter went to a township meeting about how to control the deer herd in & near Princeton, NJ, she suggested that an alternative to hunting would be the introduction of a couple natural predators--wolf & cougar. It didn't go over real well with the "give 'em birth control" crowd, but she figured that besides deer, it'd cut down on the number of little yappy dogs in her neighborhood, which she thought was A Good Thing.

For that matter, a 6mm, from a tree stand (thus the round goes into the ground) works, as well.
Most of the objections come from people who object to shooting, PERIOD. They are the "no guns are good guns" crowd, and would rather that Bambi dies of starvation or broken ribs (car accident.)
Real animal lovers, they are...

Fancy seeing you on this thread!
I got a Sika Deer on Saturday. It was the rifle opener. I watched this buck bed down about 40 yards from me and waited 2 hours until he got up to feed to take him. He went right down.
If you don't know, Sika deer are little Asian Elk that were brought over to the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We have a stable population of them and they are tasty.

I guess it would be too much to ask to legalize "silencers" so that the noise wouldn't bother the neighbors, would it?

Mmm Mmm Good
Venison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: RKV
Just have suburban hunting be bow/crossbow. Along with a program of allowing "beaters" making noise to drive the deer from no-hunting residential areas towards the hunters
To: ppaul
Bambi isn't "nature." "Nature" is Bambi and one of her fawns being eaten by Wiley E. Coyote.

Way too logical Sauron.

I have to wonder what these guys think deer die from in the wild in the absence of human hunting...laying in a deer hospital with little deer respirators on and their families by their little deer bedsides? Generally speaking they either starve or are torn apart alive by predators. Deer hunting is cruel, yes...cruel to wolves, cruel to mountain lions, cruel to hyenas and tigers and lions and eagles...
