The HOA at Land’s End golf course on Lake Fork has hired a trapper to trap 100 deer in the subdivision. TV station KLTV did a report that only represented the HOA, and interviewed the HOA president. He claimed that due to overpopulation, that they were seeing malnutrition and deformities in the deer herd. This is total B.S. I have never seen a malnourished or deformed deer in the 20 years I’ve owned my property less than 1/2 mile from this subdivision. These deer are going to a slaughterhouse simply because they eat the landowner’s shrubs. KLTV didn’t research or interview anybody opposing this slaughter. They didn’t interview the landowners that feed the deer so that they can view them. I’m not good on a computer, so I would ask those that are to watch the interview to contact KLTV and voice their opinion.

Overpopulation of deer in the hill country is a very real thing in some areas. My buddy in Boerne will have a dozen deer in and around his yard on any given day and everyone else does too. They used to trap deer in my neighborhood, though they relocated them. At least that’s what they said.
They mow everything down and become hazards on the road when their numbers get too high. They can also present a danger to people when they lose their fear. I don’t think keeping numbers in check where it’s needed is a problem.
