In reply to the discussion: Federal Wildlife Agents Shoot 14 Wolves from Helicopters [View all]red dog 1
(28,055 posts)"Like many others, you seem to believe that deer are as plentiful in the western US as they are in the eastern US"..........WRONG!
I'm well aware of the fact that many of the eastern states have a severe over-population of deer, which is a problem that could be solved if Wildlife Services would stop shooting wolves from helicopters and instead, humanely trapping them and relocating them to the eastern states that have the most severe deer over-population.....Since this wolf kill cost more than $1670 per wolf, how much more would it cost to trap & relocate the wolves?
Since you are a "professor", perhaps you could answer this question?
As you yourself said in Post # 32, "In the eastern US, deer overpopulation is a serious problem."
As far as your slanderous remark about my making "false statements about deer populations." and "used some silly citations", The following is the ONLY citation I used in reference to deer populations..(Post # 27)
"..the white tail deer has reached record populations in many states and will continue to grow. Densities may exceed more than 40 deer per square mile in some rural areas."

Which part of this statement is false, Professor?
It was taken from Cornell University Cooperative Extension, far from being a
"silly citation". wouldn't you agree?, or would you prefer to slander me some more?
