Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island
#12
Mahalo to Sen. Kahele for taking long overdue action on this problem.
I do not oppose starting the program by letting hunters have a go at it, but I have heard many hunters, in referring to pigs, that they want to leave enough of a population alive so that they can breed and produce for next years' season. That will not solve the problem - only continue it on into the future. So let's let them have a few months of hunting and then take more serious and permanent action.

Of course, you will have the PETA people crying about killing Bambi, but they offer no solutions. Perhaps, if you have to cave into them you could shoot the males with tranquilizer darts and use elastrator bands on them. This could be done very quickly in the field. Eventually, if not renewed from Maui, the population will die out or be hunted out. A gelded stag is probably more edible than one in rut.
