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.

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.

If you were willing to convert some of those parking spaces to grasslands, you can keep the deer.

This. Good riddance of stupidity that needed punishing.

Also the cops that showed up playing tactical Timmy "shot the deer to secure the scene" sounds almost like a parody Monte Python over the top joke. Good lord this world is full of wimps.

I like the one positive reply about co-existing with wildlife and the only reply to that was

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.

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

Exactly.

Sure- kill everything that gets in our way. See how that works out for you.

Deer overpopulation has other effects beyond starving deee. The overeat the meadow areas and then that has follow on effects for birds and animals that rely on meadows. When Yellowstone reintroduced wolves, the whole ecosystem bounded back because the wolves were able to curb the overpopulation of the grazers.

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

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

Yeah, let’s use the Germans to guide us on avoiding cruelty.

This time of year bucks are super aggressive. They will absolutely attack you / gore you if they think you’re getting too close to their doe.

Cool. Now do the Holocaust.

I have never seen a starving or skinny deer in Bluemont. I have seen do gooder arborists defoliating shrubbery and destroying habitats for rabbits and other creatures so they can use tax dollars to plant native plants. Years later those areas still look like crap.
