We live in the mountains, but I know the deer go into much lower elevations. There are so many deer on our property because hunting isn't allowed around here. They're like wild cattle and here's the part that's making me NUTS...a buck is attacking my tied up little dog in my front yard! Is any one else having trouble with deer? They don't hardly move over for cars to pass! What can I do? There's got to be some country people out there that can relate to what I'm saying. We've lived here (my family) for about 40 yrs and never had such problems.

Well you have to understand that deer arent native to the north-east, it is all due to human interference that they are now as abundant as they are. Another problem is that people have successfully killed off almost all natural predators in these areas, due once again to ignorance, so there is a big problem. In the state of pennsylvania alone, somewhere around 30,000 deer are kille don the road every year, their numbers are far too high and they have really become an invasive pest. Another problem with deer, is that we provide them with so much fod, that surviving these more nothern climates is no biggie for them. Things like ornamental fruit trees, easter white cedar and poplars proveide such an abundance of food that the deer have no reason to leave or to reduce their own numbers. They over populate and unfortunatly, the only real control for deer, is that they die in high numbers during their winter yarding period......
I dont hate deer, but I do understand their negative aspects as well as their positives.

Enough deer do not die both from searching or drivers, who, incidentally don't seem to be reckless, the deer bounce out at them, the drivers do not purpose for the deer. When you fly over a few locations of the nation in top iciness you'll see the carcasses of starved deer with their toes sticking up from the snow. The herds have got to be thinned so not one of the healthful ones starve. Nature is not style, however I feel a speedy dying is ideal to scouring the bottom whilst theres now not adequate meals to feed a significant herd. I feel a few are watching into start manipulate for the deer placed out with meals.

Its not hunting if you shoot them to protect your property, its pest control. I'd love to come to your place for a day!
