UMMM...
Did you know that there is already a FERAL CATTLE issue on this island (they are one of the destructive ungulates, and there are thousands on island...) - that is one of the reasons WHY the STD outbreak in ranch cattle is a headline worthy issue.... if it gets out in the feral population, there is no real way to control it...
The Axis Deer is not normally an open rangeland deer, it is a rainforest deer, more often inhabiting heavily forested river areas (ie, their preferences here would be within the gulches - not a place where many hunters LIKE to hunt, and really hard to FIND the deer - not like you would see them easily in a tree stand or such....and then there is the problem of getting out of the gulch area with your catch....it is very hard to find a hunter here willing to do this type of hunt.... check with J. Jeffries on how they tried to get hunters, but it was not something hunters here wanted..)
