I think one of the biggest problems with the whole issue of EAB and overpopulation is the lack of hunting allowed in urban areas. My mother lives in Oshkosh,WIright in the middle of thecity. She has to fence in her garden now, and has a wonderful picture of a ten pointer drinking from her bird bath. There is a small woods behind the neighborhood that could easily be hunted, instead they are going to let "sharp shooters" get payed to waste these animals. In these economic times, wouldnt a municipality want to save as much money as possible?? Seems to me that urban areas are the true cause to over population in the deer herd.
