Our city is starting a deer sharpshooting program so we don't get chronic wasting disease and invasives in the park and it turned into an hour of talking about studies on the feasibility of deer birth control (no), whether crossbows are allowed in the park (no), and are our neighbors currently field dressing and eating the deer (no)
