“Only cost $2 for a great 30-06 round.”

I would prefer that no one in our deer-rich neighborhood start flinging 30-06 rounds. I even presented my neighbor with a bill to replace one of our double-pane, argon filled, low-E sunroom windows after he killed it with his pump pellet rifle (he was trying to thin out a herd of squirrel).

That being said...I recently took the state “Hunter Responsibility” class which is a prerequisite for a hunting license here. I’ll be out next year with my new .308 Christmas present...thinning a herd somewhere.

Here in Michigan the southern half is shotgun/slugs only. but like your neighborhood, safety is an issue that not even slugs would take care of. Heck, there's a tenth of a mile square wooded area at the back of my sub that has at least 5 deer in there and at the southern side of that little animal oasis is an 8 lane highway.......Every couple of months you'll see a deer on the side of the highway that was nailed by a car. The population continues to thrive due to a watershed drain that extends for miles to the north that deer will roam. There was even a beaver dam that had to be destroyed by the DNR to prevent possible flooding over my sub's access road.........

There's really not too much you can do other then let nature and the automobiles take care of the problem
