Maryland's deer divide: lovers weigh compassion versus control
Maryland residents split into orchid and dandelion camps over deer. Bruce Gardner of the University of Maryland outlines four main reasons for viewing deer as a mixed blessing tied to biology. He notes rapid population growth under favorable conditions, crop damage worth about 30 million dollars annually in Maryland, frequent car collisions, and deer as disease vectors and habitat destroyers. Maryland presidents have increased bag limits to hunters as a temporary mitigation, while other methods like relocation and contraceptive darts have been tried.
