Re: Deer

Thanks, Libby.  And a very good point you make about hunters not
culling herds of the weak members like their natural predators
would...I had not thought about that.

It is a tough topic, but one that I think we all need to give thought
to - the problem isn't going to vanish on its own...humans created it
and humans gotta solve it:-)
