Not sure where you live, but Fairfax County does have a Deer Management Program. It was pretty disconcerting the first time I saw the hunters in the park behind my house!

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/wildlife/deer-management-program

Montgomery County has one too.

DC deer are managed via sharpshooters in the National Parks. https://www.nps.gov/rocr/learn/management/white-tailed-deer-management.htm#:~:text=What%20is%20the%20Deer%20Management,affecting%20the%20environment%20is%20made.

There's not really any area nearby where animal rights folks have prevented culling afaik.

A looming souce of grief for me in Arlington. They plan to kill nearly half the deer.
County staff developed plan with White Buffalo. Guess who got the contract to shoot them? Right you are.

So you'd rather them die slowly of starvation? You're such an amazing human.

I was going for a walk in my suburban neighborhood when I came across a buck and his harem. I was across the street walking, and it came looking at me and making aggressive noises. Then it started to follow me. I got really nervous.

We need the tree cover to grow to clean the air, prevent soil erosion, and cool the cities. Kill many (not all) deer. There are just too many of them.

Plus I'm tired of the damage they do to cars. A deer encounter totaled our car in 2022.

Would you choose the Bear over the deer? (after this I am not so sure).

Male or female bear?

You know humans eat mammals, right?

I gather you haven't heard of Arlington county.

https://www.arlnow.com/2025/03/10/arlington-deer-culling-efforts-come-with-151k-price-tag-in-budget-proposal/

That is a link detailing Arlington county's deer culling efforts. It is not a link to animal rights folks preventing deer culling.

Arlington has been blocked for years by citizen groups. Hopefully, Arlington will finally get to start culling this winter.

Be sure to tell your kids every time they see 2 deer one is going to be shot because they eat vegetation. Plants over mammals! Way to go.

This is barbaric and a violation of cruelty to animal laws.

In Germany this is forbidden completely. Because this is cruel.

Just go to Belgium or France or Spain for your bow hunting needs.

Awwww so nice to meet a person living happily in the woods among all of the wildlife. You don't live in a house, right?

Or kill people by running into traffic. I'll take some dead deer for alive humans.

A buck once charged at me while I was in a stopped car in Fairfax County. The deer made out better than my car did.
