Only cost $2 for a great 30-06 round.
Have they considered extending hunting season by a week or two?
This would bring IN additional revenue and avoid the expense completely.

yes, the deer hunter SPENDS cash to hunt deer, voluntarily. And only about a third of the people buying permits, ammo, orange vests and barbecue sauce get a deer.
The PETA-approved methods waste government funds that could be used to load EBT and SNAP cards.
the cost of killing deer en masse is estimated at 1200 per deer....based on an actual program in Princeton, NJ.

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.
Arrows are reusable. In much of MD, hunting is shotgun only or bowhunting, not rifle--which is okay, because few shots there are over 150 yards. (My Dad has harvested whitetail at 175 yards with a shotgun and rifled slug (sabot), but he has always been, and still is, an exceptional shot.
I understand what you are saying but if this community is anything like where I live, there is no way to hunt them due to the safety issues - wall to wall subdivisions........
Instead of catching, neutering then releasing, just catch and kill the damn thing or else eventually it'll get nailed by an auto......
