Only in New York...NYC suburbs....

The suburban areas above NYC are having problems with an abundance of deer. Eating up the shrubs and plants. Some townships have used birth control for the does, and one enlightened community has a vasectomy clinic for the bucks. They are against hunting, so this is how a blue State manages the problem.
Though NYS ENCON is not impressed.

Well none of this seems to be working. Maybe they should try teaching abstinence. 😂
Don't worry, Mother Nature will take care of the problem.
Something akin to blue tongue will rip through and then they'll have a problem of thousands of deer rotting and stinking up their liberal Utopias.
Why don't they use them to feed the poor and homeless? There are lots of resident hunters who have to travel out of NYC to hunt. These folks would pay good money to hunt deer at home, even if they had to give the meat away. Make it bow hunting or something, but too many deer is a problem which need not exist.
Paid professional hunters with suppressed weapons hunting them at night with thermal scopes would be my answer, or an archery season with an unlimited harvest and either sex.
Take the animals harvested to a place to be butchered and feed them to the prisoners and homeless.
I agree kannoneer . Here in Indiana we have deer management in our southern Brown County.
I would think at some point the number of car deer accidents would increase enough to have the insurance lobby help the politicians see things differently.
Alexandria Cortez wants these signs moved because where the deer are crossing is dangerous to the poor deer.
Seems a very simple nonsurgical fix to the problem would be to feed them mashed potato's laced with salt peter. It has worked for generations keeping military basic trainee's from growing horns! 🤣
We have in city hunts here. There are so many deer, they are considered pests. A typical annual ticket allows the harvest of as many as 8 deer.
Destroying shrubs and lawns. What makes matters worse are the people who feed them.
Mmmmmm! So it takes less than 10 GB responders to have solved the problem but NYers haven't solved it in yea
That is what we need here!!!

I rather think Bikerbob is right . When the damage caused deer/ car collisions start to cost insurance companies money , things will change . At some point the scales tip and the "Bambi" effect goes away
