Question

help please
Deer are eating the crops of local farms. Farm owners are asking wildlife managers to increase the bag limits for deer in the state park adjacent to their farms. Bag limits are the number of deer hunters can kill per season. What environmental factors should wildlife manager investigate before making a decision? Please provide supporting details for your answer.

Answer 3

Consider the effects which changes in the deer population would have on the species which interact with deer.

What effect would fewer deer have on species which deer eat like grass? What effect would changes in their populations have on the local ecosystem, like other animals which live in grasses? As grass roots prevent runoff, what effect would it have on local streams?

What effect would it have on species which depend directly on deer, like ticks? What effect would it have on species which depend indirectly on deer, like birds which eat ticks? What effect would it have on animals like bears and coyotes which depend on deer for food?

Answer 4

You can also talk about the plants deers consume, which go up when there are fewer deer to eat them.

Answer 9

i didnt get it

Answer 10

if bag limits are increased and if the hunters kill more deer, there will be less in the area which would be lowering the population. If too many deer are killed, invasive plant species may run out of control and invade new areas in which it destroys crops or gardens.
perhaps most importantly, the wildlife manager needs to be sure that not too many deer are being killed. He or she should have a pretty accurate idea of what the deer population is to prevent over-hunting and thus the complete demise of the deer population...
