Parts of California also have deer population issues.

Guinea pigs?

Hippies would be better than guinea pigs. Tuck a little cash crop in there and you could solve multiple problems in one fell swoop.

The Hippies I know are all too bitter. Don't rodents taste better?

I thought it was the waste product that was of interest. Now that I think about it, Breatharians would be best. They spewed a lot of BS.

No, if that were the case, politicians would do.

I'm semi-serious, for once. I often think about all the invasive species we have moved around the world for ornamental purposes or to eat some other pest and I keep thinking, if we are gong to mess around with stuff, at least make the subject edible.

So if you want to get rid of the snakes in Texas, don't put in mongoose, put in something that tastes good. And if deer are out of control in New Hampshire, don't import wolfs unless wolf steak is yummier and juicier than venison. Cause you know they are just going to get out of hand, and then you will have to either pay someone to kill them or have people pay you for the priveledge of hunting them.

So if we are going to put things in our gardens to eat insects, why make them toads? Let's find something that eats insects which also makes a nice midnight snack. And no, I won't be eating Toad. I hear you thinking out there.

I hear they taste good too, but do they eat insects?

I was just thinking that ducks would be good, plus they even look like shmoos.

The same reason they make us waste hours in line at the DMV. Maybe mixed a little with the same reason we have tariffs and subsidies, and possibly also with the same reason we have a food guide telling us to base our nutrition on bread and pasta.

Reminds me of when I lived in Indiana. They let the deer population go nuts, but still limited hunting to a certain time and how many one could nab. Anyway, the deer started starving. So, the amount one could hunt was upped to thin out the population and give these poor things a quick death. The hippies went nuts. Yeah, how sad that they be shot . . . but it's OK to starve them. Morons.

I have a friend who works for our state fish and wildlife agency and she recently mentioned to me that her co-workers (including upper management) are mostly hunters. It's probably what attracts people to that work, wanting to see the resource get managed correctly.

The funding is up to the legislature though.

Of course, as far as I'm concerned, the main point of limiting the birth rate is to make sure that there is enough food to feed ALL the children.

Nope. They're straight herbivores.

Also, they're not rodents. Not not not.

Oh you, stop it. They are too rodents! Don't even make me google it. OK, that's it, I'm getting out the google. I'm taking it off the nail where it usually hangs. Don't make me use it... That was your last chance, now I'm going to google it and you will just have to suffer the consequences of your behavior.
