Right now in several urban areas there are heated debates raging about how to properly stem the ever growing whitetail populations. Obviously, people do not want rifles being shot in between houses in their neighborhoods. Some local municipalities have hired private contractors to tranquilze and then sterilize deer. Cost is around $2K PER DEER! On the other hand, VA and a few other states have set up "Urban Archery Programs" where bowhunters can hunt nearly yearround for antlerless deer. Why pay contractors when hunters will acctually pay to remove them! Plenty of good info on the net, and of course PETA and all that bunch abound around the issue. Plenty to find for a 15pg research paper.
