| Abstract: |
The term 'urban deer' has been used to describe deer that have adapted readily to urban and suburban habitats throughout many portions of North America (McAninch 1995). In many of these areas, public opposition, municipal ordinances, or concerns for human safety often prohibit the use of lethal methods (e.g., hunting or sharpshooting) for controlling urban deer populations. Therefore, interest in the potential use of fertility control as a non-lethal method of controlling deer in these areas has increased dramatically in recent years (Warren 1995). |
