Threat of Axis Deer on the Big Island

Originally posted by csgray

Oneself,
The axis deer are not the same kind of deer as found on the mainland, they are a tropical species of deer that originated in India.

They are also prolific breeders that have no natural predators here and can jump vertically about twice as high as a mainland deer. No one here has fences that can keep them out of crops, gardens, or native wild lands. They would be a disaster for the last remnants of Hawaii's ecosystems, and for the agriculture industry here. Should our hard working farmers bear the price of hunters having a new prey to pursue for their trophy wall?

Cagary hit the nail on the head.

If people hunt wild boar, I would think Venison would be a delight.
