There are too many white-tailed deer for forests in much of eastern North America to regenerate. Should we put them on birth control? Should we let hunters take care of the problem? Is more-intensive culling the solution? Can wolves and other non-human predators handle the problem? And how many deer is too many? Billy talks with Bernd Blossey of Cornell University about what to do about deer. Blossey and his colleagues have tested solutions in the field, and his recommendations might surprise you.
(And of course, don’t forget to get Billy’s new book! Exploring Philly Nature: A Guide for All Four Seasons.)
