Interesting question. But how about trapping/transferringdeer? Similar concept. Because that's what they should be doing in Valley Forge National Park, not far from where I live. Instead of having "sharp shooters" come in and kill them because of GROSS overpopulation/overbrowsing problems, why not rocket net them or whatever they call that netting procedure, and relocate them to area's that are lacking in deer numbers as a result of overallocation of antlerless tags?OK, my rant is over.
Its revenue. There simply isnt any money in a states budget to do relocation... Muchcheaper to shoot them in overpopulated areas and limit hunting in low pop areas to achieve the same goals. WCL
