commercial agriculture will be impossible because fencing is too expensive?
hmmmm that's funny, lots of deer in california where i lived and strangely enough lots of agriculture too. deer fencing is not at all expensive, despite what some people on punaweb are trying to say. i've personally erected it many a times for my garden. you don't need electric fencing. that's b.s. in fact in my fence there was not even any metal. wooden posts, which i hammered into the ground, and plastic 7 ft high mesh attached (the thicker stuff). relatively cheap stuff. no deer EVER got through.
you know what will happen if deer end up living by the tens of thousands on the big island?
nothing. everyone will be just fine. and so will the crops.
