I've been thinking about this and something just occurred to me. My dad lives in a residential neighborhood in San Antonio renown (or infamous) for its deer population. Urban sprawl has left this area completely landlocked by exploding growth and the deer, without any hunting pressure or predators are relatively tame and does usually have twins every year. They werak havoc on gardens and flowers in the neighborhood and occasionally get out on the highway and cause a mess.

I'm not saying I'm for or against 'giving them the pill' in those circumstances but its an idea. That said, the PETA types have had their fingers in this issue since forever. They trapped a bunch of the deer out a while back and resolving what to do with them was the biggest mess ever. My dad offered to buy them, being a resident of the neighborhood, take em out and turn em loose on the ranch. Sounds simple, right? Last I heard, they were going to ship them to a wild life preserve in Mexico (haha!)
