They were once protected because of over-harvest but now they thrive in areas where harvest is essentially impossible. <a href="http://www.buckmanager.com/2013/05/30/deer-population-control-management-options-for-suburban-areas/" rel="nofollow">Suburban deer management is widespread</a> and hotly debated in just about every one of those locations. I think the mortality rate initially stated is high, but there will always be conflicting citations available, for just about anything.

The State of Connecticut article is fully supported by footnotes and references, which while perhaps different than your anecdotal evidence, is quite valid. Since you claim that your organization is dedicated to deer management, research, and rehabilitation, you too should be interested in all available research and not just that which proves your point. If you have any long-term studies to show that relocation is a valid option in Ohio, I would be interested in seeing it. Research I have seen to date indicates that there is "only" a 25% mortality rate of transferred deer after two months, but as high as 85% after 18 months. Additionally, you do not address Chronic Wasting Disease and prohibitions on moving deer across state lines because of this disease. Finally, back to the mortality rate of transported deer, does it not seem inhumane to transport deer knowing that even one quarter of them will die within two months of transport? To me, it seems like a different kind of weapon as well as a slower death.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06443368613773992371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952382416843588393.post-68115208830823663922012-06-30T16:33:48.542-04:002012-06-30T16:33:48.542-04:00Ok, here is a web page with some information: htt...Ok, here is a web page with some information: http://www.deerfriendly.com/deer-population-control<br /><br />(Name: Kent Webb, Comments on these blogs seem to be posted with our blogger account nickname)Deer Friendlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507276899310564801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952382416843588393.post-64535028487880116182012-06-30T16:30:51.839-04:002012-06-30T16:30:51.839-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Deer Friendlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507276899310564801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952382416843588393.post-72155705029243643492012-06-30T12:14:27.145-04:002012-06-30T12:14:27.145-04:00Comments are welcome, but please use your real nam...Comments are welcome, but please use your real name, as I do.
