Cities and Deer Problems (topic expected to be moved)

Posted: 12/30/2018 1:48:25 PM

Seems STL and NYC have deer problems. A company, White Buffalo, is involved in their wildlife management. In STL deer are hunted, processed and the meat donated to shelters. NYC has decided to hire them to sterilize bucks. White Buffalo reportedly won a no-bid emergency contract and has so far "snipped" 1,456 bucks at $2,652.95 per animal. The three year program will run 4.1 million. Ann Arbor, MI was considering White Buffalo's doe sterilization until state Rep. Triston Cole sponsored a bill banning the process as "cruel" because of the stress of the tranquilization process. Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder signed the bill Dec. 19th.

284,000 taken this year in Missouri, yet, the deer population seems unaffected. See one, there will always be another. Missouri has a Share the Harvest program for hunters willing to donate part or all of their meat. A processor I know is doing a lot for our food pantries. Taxpayer dollars spent sterilizing deer seems just silly.

146,000 taken as of Christmas Day, which is a marked drop-off. Hunting is a rapidly declining activity in Ohio and effecting the economies in SE Ohio

Which part of New York City would you suggest opening to hunters?

The White Buffalo folks can harvest the deer without opening the city to hunters. They already hunted those 1400 that were "tranquilized" instead. I know cities are so flush with cash the $2,600.00 per animal for sterilization is no problem. Just don't kid yourself that the remaining bucks are not capable of keeping up the population. Choices, STL chooses to direct the venison to Missouri's Share the Harvest program. Again, sterilizing deer seems silly. Those White Buffalo folks surely are grinning all the way to the bank.

Coastal elites slowly realizing that gun control was a much more affordable method to keep the toxic masculinity of deer at reasonable levels.

I've seen crazier things happen.

I'm not sure I follow. So your complaint here is that White Buffalo over charges?

What alternative are you suggesting for New York?

I run a landscaping business and a member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals. (NALP). Deer overpopulation is a massive problem for our industry. There is a huge list of plants, shrubs and trees that we call deer food now. No sense planting them because, unless treated several times in winter with deer repellent, they will be munched to pieces. Even plant species that are poisonous to deer are being eaten!
Athens has one of the highest deer population per square mile in the state up on the Ridges. No hunting allowed but the deer go out of there into the surrounding neighborhoods to graze. The auto insurance companies will tell you that the deer collisions are off the chart. We all pay through higher insurance premiums. Count the dead deer bodies on the side of the road. I counted seven between Athens and Parkersburg two weeks ago.
One last thing, one of the appalachian southern states fenced off a two acre area with deer fencing and guess what?, the early ground plants like trilliums and others that emerge in early spring before the leaves emerge covered the forest floor. Outside the fence, bare ground. The ecosystem is being severely strained by the monoculture of deer overpopulation.

When I was at O.U. several of my friends lived way off campus.

When I went to visit,you'd see a number of people who had a salt lick
in their yard.

Deer comes over,bang.
Fresh meat.

It wasn't legal,and took any "sport" out of hunting.

But I never heard of anyone getting in trouble for it.

To paraphrase General Phil Sheridan, of Somerset, Ohio, "The only good deer is a dead deer!" Hate those varmints. Rats with antlers, they are.

Had a guy in our neighborhood using a cross-bow to hunt deer - in the neighborhood. Not near the neighborhood, not in the woods behind the neighborhood - literally in yards. Had to go to City Council to get him to stop.

Let me drive through their neighborhoods in my Civic. I've hit three of them in my lifetime. They're attracted to destroying my cars. I'll take care of it.

My sister and her husband once hit a cow in a T-Bird. Don't recommend that, either.

Yea, define "had to." I mean, if he was slinging arrows all over the neighborhood and shooting towards people or something like that, yes, that's dangerous. If he wasn't, what was the problem?

I do my part to limit deer-vehicle collisions. I've hunted the last few years just outside of town on a small rural piece of ground and the deer numbers there are nuts. A friend of mine who isn't still living here used to hunt essentially yards of people living very near town and killed a lot of deer.
