Harry,
I can certainly agree with your privilege of not having hunters on your
property. If you wish to allow nature photographers then that's very
generous of you, perhaps more than I would be. I just make the point that
the deer herd does need a method of managing their numbers. Not only for our
sake (the motorist) but for theirs as well. If too many deer inhabit an area
they suffer from starvation and or malnourishment. People and wild life just
aren't too compatible, sort of a shame but that's what passes for progress.
I'm sure the Native Americans can confirm that.

In this neck of the woods (Michigan) We had some human fatalities
when motorists encounter deer. I'm not a hunter myself but I can see the
need for their work.

The fact that hunters kill deer doesn't result in an end to deer-car
encounters.

I simply don't want hunter/trespassers on my property, and neither do any
of my neighbors along this stretch of Chesapeake Bay. I have no objection
to anyone walking the woods who is armed with a camera.


The Coast Guard station just down the road had to euthanize about 25
deer this past year. The herd was just getting too big, and the young
were being found dead of starvation.

When we get rid of the natural predators, man must become the
predator.
