I should have looked to see where you live. Indiana deer may taste better than south Texas deer. We have hunted in Michigan and Canada and there is a world of difference in the size and taste. An animal that munches on mesquite and cactus doesn't taste wonderful.

Actually, I live in America's richest county ~ Fairfax County, Virginia. People plant numerous shrubs and herbs that deer love. The North end of the county has anywhere from 70,000 to 90,000 deer. The South, more "ethnic" end of the county has only about 35,000 deer.

Yes, it is true, many Hispanics and Vietnamese are among the finest of public spirited citizens ~ they keep that deer heard culled. They'd do a better job but the cops bust them for using firearms in this very populated, urban area.

I have no idea why anyone would wish to propagate more deer.

BTW, I'm originally from Indiana. With the introduction of high lysine corn, deer need eat nothing more than leftover corn in the fields to thrive.

They were nearly overrun a decade or so ago and had to liberate the deer limits.

Serious consideration was given to a standard of no more than a large pickup truck full per day (in season).

My understanding now is that they've pretty well got the herd under control ~ in fact, on my last trip "back home" in August I only saw a hundred or so dead along the roads.
