HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM
In 2013, the Westwood Shores POA Board of Trustees approved a managed harvest of the deer, using 10 hunting sights, assisted by the Parks & Wildlife of the State of Texas (Game Wardens). The program consisted of the managed harvest of deer and hogs within the Westwood Shores Subdivision, with safety being the number one priority. It was their determination that the average weight of a doe was approximately 30 to 35 pounds at that time. The average weight of a heathy doe should be 60 to 80 pounds. The large abundance of deer within the subdivision caused the deer to inter-breed with one another, which could cause genetic problems within the deer herd. The deer looked very poor and the food abundance was rapidly growing short. This caused the deer to forage the plants, flowers and gardens of the residents of Westwood Shores. Residents were instructed to not feed the deer corn, because this was not a proper food item for them, but some residents continue to feed the deer corn. A trapping program to catch and remove some deer was estimated to be very costly.
After the third year of the deer harvest, the does showed an improvement in weight. The average doe weighed between 60 to 80 pounds and looked healthier. We as residents should make sure that the wild life that we have are able to forage for their natural food and not over populate. And when we have visitors to our neighborhood, they observe healthier deer and not one that is under weight or diseased.
Due to the managed harvest and control of the deer herd within the Westwood Shores Subdivision, more of the residents can observe does that are having healthy twins and even triplets.
Our goal is to help our deer population and we have been advised by the game wardens to not feed deer and it is a Westwood Shore POA policy to not feed deer and you can be fined if you do so.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE
The white-tailed deer is one of the most popular and recognizable species of wildlife in Texas. They are a significant recreational resource among hunters and those who just like to watch wildlife. White-tailed deer are also an important economic resource to many rural landowners who lease hunting rights on their property and the businesses that profit from traveling hunters. They are also an increasingly common animal in and around many Texas urban and suburban communities.
White-tailed deer are an important natural resource and a part of Texas’ natural heritage. However, they are currently considered more of a nuisance in some parts of their range. Thoughtful, proactive management of overabundant deer in urban and suburban settings can help ensure that white-tailed deer are always viewed in a positive light.
At one point in the late 19th century, white-tailed deer nearly disappeared from the Texas landscape. Over harvest and alteration of natural plant communities had reduced or eliminated deer numbers across much of Texas. Protective measures were taken, including the first deer seasons, harvest limits and the establishment of the Game Warden Service. This protection from exploitation was accompanied by adaptation of deer to altered landscapes and widespread restocking by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. From their near disappearance over 100 years ago, white-tailed deer have been restored to most areas they previously occupied and may have expanded their range into historically unoccupied areas of Texas. The restoration of white-tailed deer is a wildlife management success story in Texas and many other states. The current status of white-tailed deer populations nationally is also a testament to the resiliency and adaptability of this species. White-tailed deer can thrive side-by-side with human populations in Texas. The adaptability of white-tailed deer and the desire of people to live and work in areas that retain “green spaces” have resulted in deer overabundance in many areas.
An overabundant deer herd can be described as one that has exceeded the capacity of the native plant community. Overabundant deer herds can result in concerns for the deer, for native plant communities, for urban landscapes and the health, safety and economic well-being of local communities. Neighborhoods across Texas are beginning to confront these issues which have been a concern of communities in the northeastern states for several decades. As overabundant white-tailed deer reduce the health of native plant communities, other wildlife species can become less common. Over-abundant herds have deer-health problems such as starvation, increased numbers of parasites and more disease.
Overabundance of deer living in close proximity to people also cause concerns such as:
- Automobile accidents from deer collisions or drivers trying to avoid deer
- Severe damage to landscaping.
- Buck (male) deer that are unafraid of people can be dangerous during the breeding season (fall and winter).
- Increased numbers of disease-causing agents such as ticks carrying Lyme’s disease.
- Deer feeding resulting in more reproduction and further aggravation of all overabundant deer concerns.
What can be done to address homeowner concerns regarding overabundant deer populations?
- Do not feed deer. Supplemental feed will only increase the number of deer in the neighborhood. And again, it is a Westwood Shore POA policy to not feed deer and you can be fined if you do so.
- Work with neighbors to monitor deer numbers in your neighborhood and impacts to your landscape.
- Landscape with plants that deer do not prefer to eat.
- Consider removal of adult deer through lethal and non-lethal means.
- Limit movement of deer into the neighborhood from surrounding areas with high fencing.
- Work cooperatively, from the start, with other residents and neighboring landowners in deer monitoring and management. This is particularly important in areas where deer numbers are high in surrounding areas.
Finally, as a reminder be respectful of the hunters during the hours when they are in their stands. And again, please do not feed the deer.
