Too many deer

[Mag]

Public meeting ,in Hendersonville, and it's usually about 50-50. Half want the deer thinned out considerably. The other half love em and don't want any killed.
Hendersonville has many many deer hunters and very few want to hunt on someone's deck or patio. Bow hunt? Shoot one and have it run out into a school yard to die would not be pretty.
Gun hunts? Well that's out of the question for obvious reasons.
I say let em multiply and let mother nature take its course.

Ahhhh yeah, I remember this dilemma from years ago. Extensive study took place partnering with TWRA, City Citizens etc. etc. only to dismiss the options presented. I think they landed on adding more Deer crossing signs...

Gun hunts? Well that's out of the question for obvious reasons.

And they frequently don't do that until deer are dying on the highways in front of them or eating their expensive shrubbery.

some places allow limited gun hunts in populated areas, but all shooting must be done from elevated stands for safety reasons. suppressors on the rifles make it even quieter, as do sub-sonic ammunition. got a few places here where land owners refuse to allow bowhunters access, and they have 8' chainlink fences around their gardens. whatever...
