I'm not sure if even hunting would be sufficient. Hunters prefer to shoot bucks, not does, leaving most of the does to reproduce. Also there is a fear that chronic wasting disease, closely related to mad cow disease, might be communicable by eating venison.

I haven't done much research on this yet, but a preliminary review indicates no examples of the disease causing health problems in humans. Also, if restrictions are removed from hunting does, hunters will be happy to harvest them for the meat.

If deer become a serious problem simply declare them varmits and remove hunting restrictions until such point as the population is under control. This is not rocket science.

Right toddst the dnr is always complaining that we can not shot enough deer but they still strickly enforce nonsafety violations on deer hunters. If they want more deer shot they have to loosen the regulations.

It is for touchy-feely Leftist animal rights types, which is why we've got the problem.
