We believe from a forester's point of view that
to control the deer population hunters
should be limited to a time period based on the deer
population. Every five years or so a
population count can be taken on the deer to
regulate the amount of time hunters can be
out hunting deer. This would also help protect the
wildlife population and growth. By keeping
the deer population at an average state it would
also help with the problems the deer
cause such as causing car accidents, trampling
wildflowers that once grew wildly, eating
too many plants, and ruining farmer's crops. By
controlling the deer population it will also
help in not only bringing back the forest, but also
in controlling the amount of forest in the
country of the United States of America. By having a
high deer population the water can
become polluted, when the deer cross through the
river and when their body waste
products are introduced to the water. This affects
the health of other animals and human
beings that drink from the water. It also affects
the fish, the plants, and other wildlife
around the surrounding areas.
If the deer population were to become too low then
the number of days that hunters will
be allowed to hunt will be limited. This will give
the deer population more time to replenish
and repopulate. If the deer population is too low
then many families will go hungry since it
is a primary food source. Thereby affecting the
lives of fellow Americans.
