Just like deer hunting in our area. The Texas white tails breed like
goats, and many of the does have twins.

AND triplets.. there are six standing in my front yard right now..not
kidding. They multiply more like rats than goats. You can't run them
things off. If they keep surviving here they are gonning to be the
size of rabbits. They are everywhere..dents in car to prove it.

We like 'em in a good pot of chili.



<snork> I've hit three of the damned things in the past 15 years.
Expensive venison with the deductable. <sigh>


I'm within city limits and you cannot discharge firearms, so harvesting
them is out. The city deer are getting denser in population as a result.

They grow fat on those well watered lawns in town,

and they steal grain from the bird feeders. <G>

I have a neighbor a couple of houses down; more than once I've seen deer
in his yard raiding his bird feeders. His fence is only 3'.


We call 'em rats with hooves.


Don't recall the exact numbers but ISTR that every year several hundred folx
at least and many thousands more are injured in deer - vehicle accidents
(the most being in Michigan IIRC), they are a real menace.

Every fall my hometown (downstate Illannoy) newspaper's "blotter" section is
filled with such accident reports...
