The public has been slow to ac-
cept the hard fact that there can
be such thing as too many deer.
Many people do not understand
that surplus deer are doomed to
die early and untimely deaths
if they are not taken by hunters
they die of starvation Of the COM
plications of malnutrition. When
game technicians advocate more
liberal hunting season to reduce
dangerously large herds, they are
likely to be greeted with incred-
ulity and scorn.
Just about every conceivable
method has been tried to check
overpopulation without killing
the deer according to James B.
Trefethen of the Wildlife Man
amement Institute. Driving the
animals from their overpopulat-
ed winter ranges is impossible.
Artificial feeding, popular me-
thod which receives much publ
city, is at best expensive and at
worst disastrous in its effects. It
is now used little except to relieve
the most critical short-term emer-
gencies created by storms.
If we permit nature to take its
course and let starvation cut back
herds to size compatible with the
capacity Of the range, deer alone
will not suffer. Valuable young
forest trees are destroyed by con-
centrations Of hungry deer as eff
fectively as by fire, and much ex-
cellent cover for wild turkeys,
grouse and other game species Is
ruined.
In the short span Of Is years,
white-tailed deer have more than
quadrupled their numbers. AS
deer populations increase, the
animals invade farmlands in
search Of food, and farmers are
forced to spend large sums for
fencing to protect gardens and or
chards. Crop damage by deer is
becoming an increasing problem
in many states.
The only sane approach to these
problems is to regard the deer as
| a self-perpetuating crop which II
sometimes requires thinning by
harvest to prevent serious sur
pluses.
Although there ma never be
enough whitetails in state to sa-
tisfy all hunters nature lovers and
chambers Of commerce, the fact
remains that there can be too
many deer for the good Of the
deer.
