Some people blame white-tailed deer for invading suburban yards and gardens. Discuss potential solutions to this problem.
What will be an ideal response?
There are no easy answers to the deer population problem in the suburbs. Changes in hunting regulations that allow for the killing of more female deer have cut down the overall deer population. However, since widespread hunting is not allowed in suburban areas, some areas have hired experienced archers to help reduce deer numbers safely. Some communities spray the scent of deer predators or rotting deer meat on the edges of suburban areas to scare off deer. Others have used equipment that emits high-frequency sounds, which are undetectable to humans. Some people surround their yards with high fences over which the deer cannot jump. In addition to these deterrents, deer can be trapped and moved, but this is expensive and must be repeated whenever the deer return. People could try birth control for deer to keep their numbers down or they could try trapping dominant males and sterilizing them.
