Deer overpopulation in the Pinery

[Irving]

According to the Dow there are no wolves in colorado. Also having kids I think I rather deal with the over population of deer than wolves, as deer don't eat children. The problem is Douglas county my friend lives across the road from the boundary of D.C. In Elizabeth and is able to take 2 or 3 doe every year even though he is on a small property.

I was just over on the wolf forums and they are complaining about the need to cull the overwhelming people population.

The Pinery Homeowners Association board of directors recently developed a policy on deer that will be included in the November newsletter. In it, the board acknowledges the conflicts, including vehicle accidents, landscape damage and injuries to pets, but takes a strong stand against all proposed methods to reduce the deer population, from hunting to relocation to contraception. Fry and other homeowners are hoping wildlife officials can provide guidance. “People are expecting the CPW to do something, whatever they decide to do,” he said.

Stupid handwringing bunnyhuggers. "The government has to do SOMETHING, but don't kill them, or relocate them, or prevent them from having babies!" Ever seen a TV show called Chasing Tails?

I will purchase all the condoms the Pinery Homeowners Association wants if they let me know when they are going to put them on those bucks in rut.

Wow. What a trainwreck.

As for wolves, there are wolves in Colorado. Many people from DOW will admit it. They will also say there are no established packs, just loners. I know what I saw, daylight, and within 100 feet. There is at least on wolf in colorado as of a few years ago.
