Suburban Strategies

Deer Hunting

  • Bows/crossbows are the most popular method for suburban deer hunting due to their precision and quietness
  • Bow hunting requires knowledge of deer anatomy, as arrow placement is essential in securing a quick, clean kill
  • Within Franklin County, hunting is primarily done on private property by or with the permission of the land owner

Deer Dietary Habits

  • The suburban landscape is incredibly food-dense, supporting deer populations far larger than in their natural habitats
  • Deer prefer twigs, vegetable shoots, flowers, and soft-needled evergreens
  • With abundant food and no natural predators, deer are beginning to reach their biological and "social" carrying capacity

State and County Deer Statistics

Social carrying capacity, or the population of deer tolerable to local human populations, is now considered a more relevent problem than biological carrying capacity

Mindsets and Philosophies

Socionatures

  • Critics of suburban deer management often cite their objection to man intervening in nature; this flawed view likely originates from a lack of socionatural awareness
  • Humans and deer are already deeply intertwined, there is no 'going back' to a 'pure' natural environment
  • Studies show that the more individuals are involved in nature, the more they support deer management

Management and Power

  • Deer management programs must involve interactions between stakeholders, from the local community to state levels
  • State regulations are informed by community-based organizations like the Buckeye Big Buck Club, as well as through hunter surveys
  • Local, experiental knowledge is essential to equitable, collaborative power dynamics
