Grass Remains Despite Fallow Deer

Janine Warner has posted some lovely views of the Fallow Deer, taken while walking through the Vedanta Retreat on Labor Day, Sept. 4, 2006.

Janine and her husband David LaFontaine saw at least four distinct herds of deer on their walk through the retreat, and several of her photos show how much grass remained available at that time despite the Park’s stated concern that non-native deer compete for forage with native black-tail deer and re-introduced elk.

Why is everyone so quick to dispute anything and everything the NPS says? Don Neubacher and others like John Dell Osso are good people. They are doing the best job they can do for all of us. Must we wait for more PROOF of consequences that will result if we do nothing with these deer? We are not scientists, biologists, park service staff. Let's not be so quick to negatively judge these people that know better than us, just because the deer are "cute."
