The most humane and needed method is simple, expand protected lands. At some point, the State of Texas needs to simply buy or take over private land, and expand protected environments. Reintroduce the top predators the State of Texas help kill off a hundred years ago, and the balance will be restored. Of course, politics and profits will always prevent this very simple thing in happening.

Although there are certainly many areas where deer are fenced and raised for hunting, more common is that they simply roam wild, in some cases overpopulating an area. Texas is almost all privately owned land, and owners are free to hunt or lease their property. Please elaborate on humane ways to control the deer population in Texas. Outside of relocation , which is preventively expensive, I am not aware of any effective way but hunting.

Aren't deer for example raised solely so that land owners make money from hunters who get pleasure out of shooting a wild animal? If animals need to be culled there are humane ways to do that.Kennoreply@blogger.com
