rob papke so true, tracey. the alternative to a controlled culling is to introduce other natural predators into the habitat, such as mountain lions and coyote; i really don't think that this is a very wise choice. we can not continue to do nothing, ...they are everywhere and they cause trouble other than treating our gardens as salad bars. man, as the other natural predator, must take action to control the herd. also, the "bambi" lovers are a relatively small % of the mtl population however they are very vocal in their opposition to doing anything about the problem.
Rob, the "bambi" lovers have been concerned about the safety of letting loose a bunch of inexperienced yahoos who never counted bullets, shot themselves in the foot, shot deer and never knew they hit them, hit a house near Williamsburg Park, almost shot a kid, and can't find evidence of anyone being stomped to death in Upper St. Clair. These people who are "a relatively small % of the mtl population" as you say have never been counted, just as how you have no idea how many deer there are. Your commissioner is very vocal about killing deer, and has said repeatedly that she is the lone wolf on the commission. To me, that translates to 20% of the commissioners want to kill deer. How many signed up for culling in 2008? It didn't even represent 20% of the houses in Mt. Lebanon. So don't make these grandiose statements without having the facts to back them up. I can support every one of my statements.
