Abstract
There are an increasing number of sites inaccessible to sportsmen where deer (Odocoileus virginianus) herds have become overabundant, typically suburban areas. This paper examines nontraditional management techniques including: capture and relocation; sharpshooting; controled hunts; capture and euthanasia; and contraception. The authors evaluate the use of nontraditional management techniques to state wildlife agencies. Long Island, New Hampshire is used as an example.
