Composting deer?

composting deer Come on. Tell me those of you who are plagued with too many deer haven’t fantasized something like this.

Seriously, with more than 75,000 deer killed on roads in New York, this is a problem that can only be solved by — you guessed it — composting, according to this Cornell Chronicle article. And it’s a cheap solution too.

It’s also nothing terribly new, as the article mentions. I remember back in the day writing articles about composting as a solution for livestock farmers, especially in areas where rendering plants were few and far between.

What I really want to know is, will that deer compost work better than Milorganite or other purported deer repellents?

One solution not considered, brought to you by Ithaca’s own Horseflies. (Warning: Neo-primitive bug music is not for the faint of heart.)

One thought on “Composting deer?”

  1. Thanks for the article, I found it of interest. Deer compost will probably attract more of them to your garden! I am so fed up with the deer population in Fairfield and Westchester Counties I am not going to go any further in my comments. Some animal activist group might get upset.
