Too many deer

[Permitchaser]

We have to many deer in our neighborhood. They run around it herds and rub down our small magnolia
So the other day I got back in my truck after a swim workout and I had a text and phone call from my wife. So I gave her a call immediately. She said there’s a dead deer under on dining room bay window
So when I got home I could tell it had been run over, guts out. Probably UPS hit it. This is a first after living here 30 years
So I put a rope on its back legs and drug it to the creek area. Got 4 bags of hydrated lime and covered it up. Of course Coyotes found it and I had to cover it again
No I don’t eat them deer

Road kill cafe?

There are solutions. If the neighborhood wants to cure it then they will. If not get use to it.

Coyotes will clean up that deer a whole lot faster than lime.

Add crows, coons and Possums, maybe a bear

Wasted money on lime.

We got them bad here too.

They love my Azaleas and when I put out Fescue and Ryegrass, they tear it up..

Don't really know what to do. A bow shot always leads to a tracking job and some folks in my neighborhood would freak out.

That, and I don't have a bow.

This one got hit just 2 or 3 nights ago.

I have call Gwinnett to pick up 4 dead deer in the last week, all bucks, 2 small and 2 headless, so I assume they had nice antlers.
Didnt call about a doe because I didnt see the cross street.
Had 4 hit, doe, and 3 smaller grown ones about 2-3 months ago.
Called the county for them too.
All these within about a mile of each other except 1.

I got a man with 11 ac and there's a 15 ac wooded plot and there's 2 large parks close. And its an older neighborhood so larger lots with trees.

Pretty much no lie. Had a 1/4 mile stretch of road marked and we flat wore them out back in the late 80s and 90s...then they started the antlerless season...

We called the county and animal control and they weren’t interested. I have 2 bird dogs I don’t want rolling in a coyote feed. Coyotes got to it first nite and ate from the back to front. Just had the neck head and bones left when I covered it again with dirt and lime. My older bird dog keeps hanging around below it at the creek. Coyote must have marked it

That’s crazy, but not surprising really. That many deer, there’s probably a bunch of yotes too ….I’d have put a camera on it
And definitely keep the old dog away from it before it rolls all in it….yuck!

If I lived in your neighborhood a suppressed 22mag and a shop with a roll up door and a privacy fence Lol

 

[transfixer]

neighborhoods in areas where people don't hunt, or can't hunt, and the neighborhood has some woods scattered around, with plenty of nice landscaping, will have plenty of deer ! no way around it, the deer didn't move into the neighborhood, the neighborhood as built in the deer's home area ,

The problem won't solve itself, it will only get worse, unless someone starts hunting them, and not just a few, county won't care about one that dies in your yard, next time drag it out into the edge of the road, and then call them, they'll come get it .
