It seems like it wouldn't be any more trouble initially, and it would save
lots of time, work hours, and $ in future years (not to mention saving 150
deer from getting shot each year). Shooting female deer with a tranquilizer
instead of a bullet and implanting the medicine seems highly preferable to
the current approach.
I asked one of tha animal ecologists at FPDDC about this a few years ago.
One of the problems with this method is that they can't tell which deer have
been injected and which haven't. What happens if the same doe gets multiple
injections? How will they know if they injected the number of deer they think
they need to inject to achieve a stable population?
