Deer hunting season arriving just in time
The bow and arrow deer hunting season gets under way on Saturday, and for many farmers, growers of nursery crops and drivers it is none too soon.
The white-tailed deer is the most impressive and graceful species of wildlife in New Jersey. It is also the most destructive.
An exhaustive study done by Rutgers, Cornell and Penn State universities revealed that more than one million deer-vehicle collisions occur annually in the United States.
This costs the nation's drivers over $1 billion in repairs. More importantly an average of 29,000 human injuries result and over 200 persons are killed.
The study did not explore the immense hospital costs of the accidents or the effects of disease, such as Lyme disease spread by deer ticks, carried by deer.
Deer are acknowledged to be the principal cause of damage to agricultural crops and nursery stock in New Jersey. Deer cost farmers in the Northeast alone more than $100 million.
