They do Val B Come up to Queensland, Right now you will see them

Where are the hunters then? Just sell safari tickets.

we have a friend who is a hunter and comes up often. a lot of the area is state park though that is the problem

me too

I know all about deer, i have grew up around them and I have lived my complete life around them.

i'm not going to argue with you Debra, your post question asked what we thought about the deer situation late summer, early fall some places, i stand by my answer,,, but you have an awesome day Debra, i mean that,, ;-))

I think Debra does know! I am 70 and have grown up in rural Pa. all my life. I was raised on a 282-acre farm, and we ate deer out of season because we were poor. I came from German immigrants who were farmers who depended on venison for sustenance. They knew all about deer and passed it down for generations. We've watched them intently for decades, have you? Hunting is almost a science in this area! We go spotting deer in the fall evening and see the same deer almost every night. We get to know their habits. I've seen a buck with a monstrous rack almost disappear before my eyes. We finally concluded that he was so wise and so old that he laid down in the brush with his head down so you couldn't see him. The younger ones would run, and you could watch them, but this old buck knew how to just disappear! It was amazing! A hunter would have to almost walk up on him to ever shoot him. He knew to hide and be quiet instead of run! Yes, Debra and most of us understand their habits. They probably don't have deer on your planet! Besides, the internet is full of information on deer. You might want to google before you judge what someone knows and doesn't know. They can become pests and like other living things do what they can to survive. They can jump over most fences so that's usually not an option! Want to know what else I know, or don't you believe a word I say! Why ask us anyway? Why didn't this guy ask the Game Commission! This whole conversation seems a bit unnecessary to begin with. I feel sorry for people who never have seen a deer, but I've never seen a wild elephant or a tiger or lion. Not sure I want to, but they are gorgeous animals also. They all deserve our respect, and I have a real connection with deer because of all the hunting that took place at our house. It was so exciting because we knew we had meat for the winter. Not everyone can afford meat from the grocery store. Dad did his own processing so there was no expense for that. Venison fed his family, and hunting isn't a walk in the park! It's damned cold with sometimes deep snow that's difficult to traverse. He enjoyed it because we always had a lot of hunters working together. Other times, he went alone. The last time, he wanted to hunt so badly, but he had cancer and was no longer able to walk through the woods in the snow! It was so sad, and I think he took a blow to his pride! Sorry, it's very emotional for me!

Hi Suzy, my daughter lives in the mt Dandenong area and she has wild buck deer and deers coming onto her property at night, as well as kangaroos and wallabies.
