The Mule Deer here in the interior of B.C is out of control, I see 5 to 6 dead deer a day on my haul that have been hit by motorists, causing lots of damage and in a lot of cases injury.
Farmers and Ranchers in the area have killed off or pushed out the predators that used to keep these herds in check.
I can see herds of plus fifty deer grazing in farmers fields at times.
I myself have hit five deer with my semi in the past four years, one did just around $3000 in damage think what that would have done to a car or pickup?
What would you do to bring these herds under control?
Extend hunting season?
I don’t think Farmers would allow predators back in, like more wolves, and cats.
