I used to live in Maryland which has a MAJOR deer population. Often they would call in sharpshooters to take out a certain amount of deer.
Deer are dangerous to drivers. My brother was put in the hospital and his car totaled due to hitting a deer. When I lived there, every week I heard
a story of some serious car accident due to deers jumping into oncoming traffic. I actually had to call 911 while driving on I270, a large group of
deer jumped over barriers onto the highway and caused a major accident involving a number of cars. Was a horrifying thing to witness.
They are not just pests as some claimed above - they are a serious danger.
