Tell me again you never leave the city

Vancouver island has too many deer to the point where it's a problem if we don't shoot some of them

Ever heard of the deer problem on haida gwaii? Every deer killed there is beneficial to the island...

    It was impossible to garden until we put up a skookum fence, and with only a few occasional predators (gulf islands) the deer are shrinking in size yet browse in greater numbers. The forests are out of balance because they are overbrowsed.

    Not much hunting locally due to restrictions, I think it was only shotgun slug and bow a few years back, and there's not much crown land around, so we have a bad deer problem.

    We pulled one part of the ecology out, predation, and people object to replacing it or any fix. It’s going to make wildfires worse and reduces biodiversity.
