West Seneca grapples with deer overpopulation and fear of culling
West Seneca officials heard a report from Zach Goodrich of Tifft Nature Preserve on deer densities that exceed sustainable levels. He cites forests receding, few predators, and adaptable feeding as drivers, with areas in Western New York reaching up to 80 deer per square mile. Residents demand action as town weighs permits and culling despite opposition.
