Deer on the move The decision last week by the Township Committee to address the recurring deer problem in the municipality with another controlled hunt is disturbing. We see it as also being necessary. We have witnessed the heightened presence of deer lo- cally and in surrounding communities in recent weeks. Driving guardedly through the South Mountain Reser- vation at night, we are alert to the presence of the nimble four-legged creatures. Their ghostly images loom sud- denly on the shoulder of the road as one rounds the corner. Anxiety grows at the thought of a hoof hovering over the car’s engine and antlers crashing through the windshield, at a moment’s notice. Having experienced the unpredictability of the deer first-hand, we are especially cautious. A midnight ride home last year left us shaken follow- ing a collision with an enormous buck that came crash- ing out of nowhere. The deer escaped injury, however, leaving behind hairs trapped in the car’s front bumper. One hesitates to describe the deer as a menace, but that’s what they have become. As with any menace, the solution is often drastic. Various non-lethal alternatives to the hunt have been considered. Deer-repellant plants, contraception pro- grams and reflectors on the roadways have all been sug- gested and for one reason or another have proven to be ineffective. An experimental trap-and-transfer method has been tried and also abandoned. What’s left other than a hunt? Pro and con forces squabble over the number of deer present in the township. They challenge or defend the standard set by the state of 20 deer per square mile for green open spaces and no deer per square mile in resi- dential areas. The results of a recent aerial survey show there are 180 deer living on township land, 110 more than is consid- ered acceptable according to state standards. Letters to the editor Critics decry the thousands of dollars—up to $115,000 in total over the past five years—the township has spent for deer management.
