Deer cause significant financial losses to farmers by damaging and consuming crops, seedlings, and pasture, leading to reduced harvests, increased costs for control measures like fencing, and even affecting a farm's viability. This damage includes eating buds, battering trees with antlers, and destroying entire crops, with some farmers losing a large percentage of their yield. Managing deer populations through culling is seen by many as the only practical way to control the damage and ensure the future viability of both farms and native woodlands. Types of Damage Crop destruction: Deer eat crops before harvest, reducing yields and farmer income. Seedling and tree damage: They consume buds and damage young trees, hindering forest regeneration and impacting forestry businesses. Pasture degradation: Deer grazing can damage pasture, affecting livestock production. Antler damage: Bucks can damage trees by rubbing their antlers against their bark and branches. Economic and Social Impact Financial losses: Farmers can experience significant crop losses, with some losing 50% or more of their harvest, impacting their livelihood. Threat to farm continuity: The severity of deer damage can cause multi-generational farm families to question their ability to continue farming. Deer Population and Management Population growth: An increase in the deer population exacerbates the problem of crop and habitat damage. Need for management: Many experts and farmers believe that a more proactive deer population management strategy, including culling, is necessary to mitigate these impacts.
