These are big animals with a lot of weight to them. Colorado Springs has had a growing problem with them for years due to suburban home and retail business development to support them. Those developments with fencing and whatnot have blocked their natural migratory routes for better feeding and breeding grounds.
ReplyDeleteThe problems people are facing there are the same as those in the midwest and southeast states have been for years (decades even) of an out of control white tail deer population boom.
