White's Woods: Deer Population

Issues in White's Woods: Deer Population Many residents of White's Woods have expressed concerns of the growth of the deer population. There has been complaints that these animals have been destroying the vegetable gardens and flowers. Some of them are absolutely outraged and petitioned to actually be able to hunt in White's Woods. The weapons permitted would only be bow and arrow and/or muzzleloader guns. Deer population has been an issue not just in Indiana, PA. There has been many who have documented the supposedly negative effects of deer population on the surrounding environment and other species. The claim that deer has decreased songbird population because the deer have been consuming their preferred places to nest. This also is a further act of deforestion, worst in their mind than any other form besides exotic insects and disease. Forms to control population have included a hunting season for female deer. (Pussel, 2013). Now, there have not been any further word on this issue concerning hunting in White's Woods. There has been a proposal on other forms of population control like using actual wild life birth control methods such as injecting does with a serome that makes them infertile temporarily by way of a dart gun (2013).
