RE: How many deer??
jaygail7 & all,
actuallyFairfax county has at LEAST 5-8 times as many deer as the county environment will support over the winter! (what i'm talking about is called SHOOTING deer, rather than HUNTING deer.)
ONE man in the eastern part of the county (just outside the City of Alexandria) counted 62 whitetails in his FRONT YARD (about 1/2 acre!) last Tuesday morning. they were EATING his EXPENSIVE landscaping plants!
fwiw, i'm "taking orders" for venison from the "senior citizens" who live in my "active senior citizen" apartments. there are THAT many deer that need THINNING OUT!
care to come help???
