Deer cull at the state park

After a one year pause, hunters will return to the Dunes State Park to thin the deer herd this fall. I can tell that the herd has already been thinned. I rarely see more than two or three deer while running in the park. Several years ago I routinely saw 12 or more on the same trails. Of course as the areas around the parks become more developed, more deer are likely to migrate to the park as a source of food and cover. For the hunters it's kind of like shooting fish in a bucket!
