Birth control vaccine eyed to curb urban deer
A deer birth control vaccine under study in Ohio aims to reduce urban herds where hunting is unsafe. Researchers led by John Turner of the Medical College of Ohio vaccinate captured deer to render them infertile for 9 to 12 months, with boosters to sustain fertility loss. The effort, supported by wildlife agencies and hunting groups, targets metro areas including Columbus and Sharon Woods Park.
