I'd rather go after the pigs.
Judging from the Pieces Parts on the sides of the roads around here I'd say deer are in no danger of going extinct anytime soon.
Good number of deer down along the Cape Fear River along the River Trail. Get walking right around sun up/down and your chances are good to see some. Last time Short Round and I went we saw three.
The problem is a number of them come up into the subdivisions along Ramsey Street. The big dip on Country Club Drive between RoseHill and Ramsey see a couple of deer nailed by cars every year.
I have about 100 hours of field time this past season that says the NTA's around Bragg are free and clear of any deer problem. I saw a total of less than 10 deer in NC all season. Not that they ain't there but I sure as heck couldn't find them. Now go to MD if you want to see a deer problem.

My aunt and uncle lived in the Leisure World in Walnut Creek, East of San Francisco. There were so many deer, they had to put nets over the landscaping to keep the plants from being eaten. I had an 8 point(that's 16 points to you whitetail dudes) stroll onto the green at the 16th hole while I was trying to putt.
God help you if you suggested shooting them...

What club would you suggest for that shot?

I live in Brunswick Co and can't wait to get home and do some hunting this coming season. I hope to be out as much as possible. Last year I hunted (08), I saw more loose hunting dogs then deer however on the gamelands (Junitper Creek/Greenswamp, all swamp land). Need to get some private land to hunt on next.

It is truly amazing how many hunting dogs are named, "Kumbakudumsonuvabitch!"
