Deer have become such a problem near the lake front that one town was going
to hold a deer kill. 1/2 of the residents caused such a ruches that they
came up with an alternative of using deer contraceptive. When I drive to
work occasionally I've seen more deer then ever before. The desire to
populate previously unpopulated areas are driving deer out. But also not
being able to use deer control methods in more populated areas is also
causing a problem.
