🤔 Deer jerky Hmmm

PITTSBURGH — Take a walk through Schenley, Frick, Highland or Riverview parks and you'll see deer eating through the urban forest.

Experts say in the coming years, they'll reduce the parks to weeds if left unchecked.

"The older trees die and there is going to be nothing left, no native tree and shrubs. All you're going to have is invasive species that the deer don't want to eat," said Gary Fujak, a deer management consultant.

They are in my yard and neighborhood all the time.

they will hire "sharpshooters" and it will take 10X longer and cost 300% more than if they had a controlled hunt, or opened these parks up to bowhunters.
Yay fucking liberals, Corky says you're the best

Heck, I would take my Xbow and take a deer in Pittsburgh if they'd let me.

Cant we just use the game commission with crossbows? what do we pay them for?

The sharpshooters they hired before were usda employees whose whole job is animal control around areas like airports etc.

I swear the exact same story ran locally months ago.
Perhaps it was a different news station.

I step in and get deer shit on my mower tires far, far, far more often than I do with dog shit.
And it's almost never "normal" deer shit - they eat stuff they shouldn't be eating and it gives them the shits.
The shit machines need to go.
