Most people love the Bambi-like quality of white-tail deer, but deer overabundance is creating problems for people and wildlife management:

• Deer density increases encounters with humans, including car collisions.
• Deer cause millions of dollars worth of damage each year to agricultural crops, nurseries, and landscaping.
• They are responsible for damage or the disappearance of wild plant species in our natural areas
• Deer play a role in the transmission of tick-borne infections to humans, including Lyme disease.
