We the Hampshire foresters have a view on the
white tail deer population in West Virginia.
We believe that the population should be cut down a
little below half and then let them
repopulate over the next five years. But, then again
we could just let nature take its course in
its own way. But, if we did that we wouldn’t have
any forest left for the generations to come.
We need to find a solution that is humanine and not
that cruel to the animals. In this effect we
could tranqulize some of the deer population and
ship them out over the United States, but if
we did that we could be making a huge problem for
someone else. So what are we to do about
the deer population in West Virginia? That is a
question that could be answered in time or by a
person who would take this problem into their own
hands and just do what they think is right. In
the sequence of events we could sterlize the bucks
of the deer population and do that ever
couple years to keep the population down and still
save the forest.

I don't understand what you mean, this is not even
probable. the cost for traqnuilizers
would exeed the funding and even the value of actually
exporting the deer. Also, no
other country would support the deer being brought to
their countries and tearing apart
their ecosystems like ti had to the United States.This
is highly unprobable and doesn't
make any sense.

First off how are you going to cut down the deer
population? And why would you cut
down the population and let it rebuild over 5 years.
Maybe the deer problem isn't
with us now but in 5 years it will be the same or even
worse than it was before. How
do you know that people in other states want deer?
Sterilizing the deer population
every 5 years would be very costly and pointless if we
just let the population build
back up.

Well, I have already explained how we are doing to cut
down the population..go
back and read the p.o.v again and you will figure it
out. Well, in 5 years we will
figure out what to do again. Just about every state has
deer so it doesn't matter
if the other states want them or not, regardless they
have them.

In a process of sterlizing the bucks, we could capture
ten to fifften bucks at a
time and start to castrate them. Then, place a tracker
on their ear or underneath
the skin of their neck.

How are you going to tranquilize hundreds of deer at a
time? This could take months
or maybe even years to complete. You are right in
saying that it we would be giving
some other country our overpopulation problem. You would
also be giving another
country an invasive species that would most likely
destroy that country’s ecosystem.
Please rethink your solution to the deer population
problem.

Well we can hire people to go out and help with the
tranquilizing. It may take a
while, but it can be done over time. It might destroy
another countries
ecosystem, but there is no probable cause to whether it
will or not. Rethinking
the solution could help, but the solution that we have
no is good enough.
