fencing, contraception and other gentle tactics have proved largely ineffective

You can lead a deer to a condom, but you can't make him use it.

You can lead a deer to a condom, but you can't make him use it.

Heck, you can't get high school students to use condoms, and they're almost as smart as deer are! Besides, to use condoms, deer would need opposable thumbs...

Seriously, I saw an interview with a MO wildlife conservation officer, talking about a relocation program that they tried... First off, farmers in rural MO aren't too crazy about having "city deer" dropped off in their neck of the woods. They've got too many deer there already, thinking their crops!

Secondly, in a population study, they found that within a year, nearly all of the relocated deer had died, many due to the shock of being moved.
