Court Upholds Surburban Detroit Deer Depopulation

Rochester Hills residents have lost a court battle which will allow sharpshooters to continue on their mission to reduce the number of car/deer collisions. In the complaint it was stated that shooting them would be dangerous and was not needed, although the car/deer collisions are extremely high in the surrounding area.

As for being dangerous, sure – for the deer. Sharpshooters will not miss on standing targets with kill zones of approximately 9 inches at relatively close ranges. And, if more explosive bullets are used, such as Nosler Ballistic Tips, pass through shots and any danger of richochets will be eliminated.

Just more misdirected do-gooders on a mission of mis-management.
