The way of the future for control of animal populations is BIRTH CONTROL. Spaying is labor-intensive, but a number of for-profit and nonprofit organizations are working on methods that use a single injection that causes sterilization, or by using a chemical that can be placed in food.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-41116058821847745272016-09-02T10:09:32.457-04:002016-09-02T10:09:32.457-04:00Apparently even the deer are smarter in Mason Dist...Apparently even the deer are smarter in Mason District.

A hunter wouldn't necessarily know about any particular trail.<br /><br />You know a trail is "established" if it is paved, but the paved trails have cyclists, which make them inconvenient for walking a dog, for instance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-7924836369450633172016-08-29T15:43:07.058-04:002016-08-29T15:43:07.058-04:00Isn't reasonable to expect people to stay on e...Isn't reasonable to expect people to stay on established trails anyway?

How are we even supposed to know which trails are considered main trails?<br /><br />Deer hunting should only be for one or two months at a time in each park. It can be staggered so that there is always a park with deer hunting somewhere in the area during the Sept-Feb time period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
