Results, Pt. IIMetroparks• Sharpshooters were used to manage the deer.• 70-85 more deer per square mile than there should be (Elliot, 2004).• 50-30 deer were taken each year (Elliot, 2004).•Meat was donated to food banks.

Analysis•Lethal techniques seemed the most effective.•Sharpshooters have the equivalent effect as hunters.•Controlling deer will help limit the three problems.
