[QUOTE="biednick, post: 2915703, member: 123604"] If the goal is to eliminate the deer there really isn't a better way. Hunting from the ground is ineffective as there will always be enough that get away to keep the population going. Aerial gunning is much more effective as animals can't hide as well from a hunter in a helicopter as they can from a hunter on the ground. I won't comment on whether or not eliminating the herd is a good idea as I don't know enough about Catalina's ecosystem to form an educated opinion. I've backpached the trans Catalina trail. After my first time out there I looked pretty seriously into going back to hunt deer. Compared to other similar hunts it's difficult logistically. For most people the extra planning effort probably isn't worth it. It's also more expensive as you need a CA deer tag and a private land management tag from the island conservancy. I'd still like to hunt it sometime, but it sounds like I may have missed my chance. [/QUOTE]
