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!

Montgomery County has one too.

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.
The meat very likely will get processed and donated to food pantries. Sounds humane enough to me.
They always say that, but have you ever seen a single "food pantry" that serves wild venison? Nope. It just disappears. Probably put into dog food or hot dogs.
How many food pantries have you audited to be able to say this?
Have you ever even been to one or worked/volunteered at one that used rando venison meat brought in?
Name it with contact information. A single one.

Gotta love Arlington Way. Corrupt contracting, unelected staff doing whatever because Board too lazy or stupid to delegate less...no oversight as to whether 40% of the deer really need to be killed ... Misrepresented community outreach results..
BUT,
They will FEED THE POORS SO IT'S ALL SOOOOO GOOD.

The worst atrocities in history were always done by people who had the best intentions.

Plus I'm tired of the damage they do to cars. A deer encounter totaled our car in 2022.
Having lived in a rural area with tons of deer, they do not damage woodlands. The kind of woods we had always had thick underbrush with occasional narrow paths through them. They would nest in open areas (marshes/meadows/cropland) and hang around the edge of the woods mostly. It wasn't until we had cattle that the underbrush was cleared (in areas the cows could access).

In the statement, Belmont County Sheriff James Zusack said foul play is not suspected.
So the deer would have gotten off without criminal charges if not killed? Criminals get away with everything these days.

But this woman was keeping this male deer in a pen on her property? And then was trapped inside the enclosure with it? Seems like this is an example of play stupid games and win stupid prizes or the Darwin effect.
In most, probably allo, states illegal to do that without a state permit.

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.
That's what the MAGAs claim when they're out trying to fck the does.
I’m as liberal you can get and I 1000 percent support culling of the herds. I know the science behind it and don’t give a shit about your feelings.
I don't think it's a harem like wild horses apparently have where the stallion guards the females year round. Female deer and their young, including young adult males, do form social groups but during rut the males I think are solitary looking for does to breed. My dad always said the young males would breed the does while the older males with all the antlers were fighting each other. (he grew up on a farm and returned to it when he retired early)

Isn't it illegal to feed deer in most places? One reason is potential for spreading the deer version of mad cow disease.Anonymous wrote:I have deer and turkeys come through my back yard out of the woods all the time. I enjoy seeing the fawns every spring and sometimes I can even start to recognize them as they grow towards the fall. Sometimes they just sit on the grass and have a nice rest. They feel safe in the open on my property and don't run.
I buy 80lbs at a time of raw peanuts in the shell and toss them out.
I get a lot of crows, too, and sometimes they leave me little sparkly things on the outside table where I put their peanuts.

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.
We don't have a parking space.
