Heck, introduce their natural predators and stop hunting and balance would occur.

Not necessarily,  same house.

Bear aren't main predators for deer. They are omnivores and eat a lot of non-meat. You need wolves and large cats.

Isn't the same house after the bears had dinner?

I thought the deer's natrual predator is the new or freshly washed/repaired vehicle.

At the Westwood track in BC the highest point in the main straight was called Deer's Leap. They would red flag the race if a deer was spotted - I beleive one formula car driver hit one - basically drove under it and lived to tell the tale.

I don't know for sure but I suspect that some of the after-race burgers served at the clubhouse might have contained some out of season ground venison....

I'm reminded of the nicest car I've ever owned. 1997 Buick Riviera with the supercharged 3800.

Leather, sunroof, hardwired cell phone. The thing was loaded and only 3 months old.

The wife calls and say "Honey, I hit a deer, but I don't think it hurt anything".

Well, $3500 1997 dollars later, it was almost as good as new.

Berkelying Deer!

We have a herd that lives around our house. We've had 18 in our yard at once. I'd love to be able to harvest one from time to time!

The engine sounds of some cars attract rats with hooves. I have hit 4 with my V6 Mustang. Three aimed right for the air intake. I use thi s product with success.

The hunting laws make more deer by only allowing you to kill them (legally, unlike my neighbors) for a couple weeks a year with modern rifles.  More with bows, a little more with muzzle loading rifles or handguns, etc., depending on where you live.  In some states, IL, IN or MI, I forget, you can only kill the bastards with a straight wall cartridge.  No bottleneck cartridges, like a 30-06, 308, 7mm Mauser, etc., like God Intended, but only with straight wall cartridges.  So, 44 Magnum OK, 300 Winchester Magnum, no-no.  WTF?  Anyway, limiting the harvesting like that allows the bastards to procreate until you kill more with a Lexus than with a rifle.  Here in Arkansas, deer outnumber humans and Lexus season is year round.  If you tag one with a Lexus, you call it in and they let you bring it home and eat it.

Solution for legal year-round deer hunting?
