vash,
A good buddy of mine is a wildlife biologist. He was working on a deer cull project in Chicago about 3 years ago for the state--his job was basically to drive around at night with 2 warden sharpshooters and spot deer for the wardens to shoot., he would then help them ID the deer, gut them and take them to the processor to be donated to the local food bank. Obviously this was on the outskirts of the city, but that is all they would do each night for the 2 months the project was active. Culling is a fact of life.
