Push your local politicians to extend deer season. The population is clearly getting out of control. Also allowing people to use bows in their back yards may help a bit.

I haven't been out hunting in a decade but maybe this is a call to arms... time to sight in the .30-30 and string up my Damon Howatt.

You'd think with meat prices up there would be more people hunting.

you're allowed to hunt deer in your yard in city limits as long as you're 50 yards away from an occupied structure for bowhunting and 150 for shotgun. I've recently read a few articles on this. Here's one. https://pittsburghquarterly.com/articles/the-urban-deerhunter/

That's great and all, but the exact issue is that there aren't nearly enough houses with a 50 yard buffer all the way around to even make this feasible. Because we live in the city.
