At a Bloomington City Council meeting on what to do about too many deer in the city limits this was offered: The lady is getting that from the Doc Hollywood movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYUScTiLcUoNo, it does not work as deer are urine curious. All they men would be doing is making mock scrapes..  |

If that were the case then with all the college students drinking and urinating in the out of doors I would think that a deer wouldn't come within 50 miles of Bloomington.

Since when does a city council or mayor have the right to kill deer out of season and or set polocy on how those deer will be removed ??They can talk till they are blue in the face but does not the DNR have the last say in this  ?I mean heck every litttle burg could set deer hunting regs at that point could they not ? |

They have done several deer reduction hunts in Beverly Shores,Indiana which is right next to the Dunes National Lakeshore, these hunts were done by a private contractor.

This particular article is dealing specifically with Griffy Woods Nature Preserve, not the urban deer issue. If you drive through the woods there is a very obvious browse line. I agree that something needs to be done, but of course the Common Council is dragging it out instead of just making something happen.

I used to work at Subaru factory in Lafayette and we saw a very funny thing occur out on that property.
Being how the factory is also a wildlife preserve there is no killing of animals...so there is a pretty dandy herd of deer out there and they get hit by cars on the highways and even by cars coming in and out of the plant. So a few years back a group of educated....knowledgeable...well-meaning...scientific book taught types at Purdue decided to try their method of deer herd reduction that would avoid the senseless killing of deer. Their plan was to show how great this was and sell their idea all over the country to try to stop herd reduction hunts in suburbia and make a few bucks for themselves.
They developed a chewable birth control pill for deer. Yes that is not a typo....birth control pills for deer....they would put this birth control feed in with regular feed to get the deer to ingest it before and during during their rut so they would not conceive. Well....the funny part was that the deer would eat all the feed and spit out the birth control part!!!
They tried coating the "special" feed in everything they could think of that the deer would eat. The deer would take the feed in their mouth...lick off all the sweet stuff and still spit out the birth control part!!
Just one of them things that makes ya go hmmmmm....
