Too Many Deer

Charleston, and most of West Virginia, is overrun by deer. Deer are generally safer from predation in and around towns, and even allowing urban deer hunts does not adequately control them. The problem exists throughout the east. In Valley Forge National Historic Park, Pennsylvania the deer population has exploded, and they don't seem to have any better way of dealing with it than we do. A hunt is scheduled to reduce the deer herd, but is running into lawsuits.
