People have given you plenty of sites for lists of herding animals, but I thought you might be interested in this fact about deer, elk and moose.  The herding animals are the ones with the white rump patches.  The deer and elk have white rump patches and use these to identify each other and stay in the herd.  Moose, in the other hand, are solitary animals and have no white rump patch.

The number of Whitetail deer which may be shot in a hunting season differs from county to county. BUt overall the most which can be shot in one year is 5. Most counties it is 4(2 bucks and 2 antlerless) The high fence has no bearing at all on the numbers. The deer is considered a Texas game animal and is subject to the restrictions set down by the Texas Pars and wildlife department. The only thing which is wide open is exotic game animals such as sika, fallow, axis, and blackbuck. To determine the number you can for where you hunt is given to you in the handbook when you buy your license and can be found when you go to TPWD's web site.

The Irish Elk (or Great Irish Deer to give it its proper name) was one of many large animals that went extinct at the very end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. It didn't just live in Ireland, and had a territory across Northern Europe. It appears to have been a herd animal judging by skeleton finds, and it may not have been timid in the way current deer are: the threat from humans seems not to have been as big before the current warm-period began. \n\nThese animals were long extinct before written records began, so we can really only speculate how they behaved. Given the size of the antlers, there is a debate as to whether they were used in battle, as they would have been massively heavy and cumbersome.\n\nThe Natural History Museum in Dublin, Ireland contains two very well preserved specimens.

not at all. i dont believe in killing just for the sake of having a big trophy to brag about. but for having food it is totally acceptable. and in certain parts of the country the animal population has to be thinned out. i live in the ozarks and the population of deer get so thick it is common to cause crashes in town. as long as the animal is being used to feed people it is acceptable to slaughter it. but only in a humane way.

Habitat destruction, habitat impingement, and killing.\n\nAs humans expand the need for space to live, farm and work, they are destroying the habitat for these snakes. As humans encounter the deadly snakes, they kill them. As humans expand their territory there are more instances where the snakes and humans interact often resulting in the death of the snake and possible injury to the human.\n\nYou could show that as the human population increases the snake population decreases.

Hang out by the road. I got hit by a doe a month ago. I saw her, slowed down and as soon as I got next to her...WHAM! She dented my drivers side door, broke my sideview mirror and dented the left front panel. I'm just glad I didn't hit her head on. I was on a 2 lane road, nowhere to go. No where to stop for another 5 miles. \nGet one for me.\n\nAnd for those who think it is cruel to hunt? The hunters help to control the deer population. I would rather the deer get shot, die quickly than be hit by a car and lay by the side of the road injured and in pain. Or God forbid, someone get killed in an accident after hitting a deer. \nHunters also donate the meat they won't use to homeless shelters.

Most people injured hunting are not shot by a gun....many other aspect of hunting are dangerous.\n\nPerhaps the most dangerous pertains to treestands....falling climbing in or out etc.  Lot of people are paralyzed or killed this way.\n\nOther dangers are pulling a muscle during climbs and hikes, moving downed game, unprepared for sudden weather changes, falling into freezing water, heart attacks for those at risk, hit by lightening, etc.\n\ntough call.....both sports and hunting can be dangerous

hunting does not control animal population. \nhunting is the cause of overpopulation and starvation of animals.\nthe nature's ecosystem ensures the survival of species. if hunters want to control the animal population why do they also kill predators, which maintain this balance by killing only the weak and sick individuals??? \nhunters just kill any animals, including large and healthy animals who are needet to keep the population strong.\neven if a temporarly animal overpopulation happens, nature will quickly take care of it its own way. \nbut hunting animals just results in a higher birthrate.\n\na hunter uses a powerful weapon from a hideout and the animal does not have any chance of defense. \nany little kid could ambush a pea brained deer.\nthis much to "accomplishment".\n\nalso everyone knows, that 50 percent of the crippling rate of animals, is caused by bowhunting.\n\nand "yes" our ancestors "the cavemen" were hunters and gatheres, but they did not kill for the fun of it, they killed to survive.\nthe human population grew immense since than and there are lots of animals that are extinct because of hunting.\n\nif someone just hunts for the sport, what about drag hunting or shooting clay pigeons???? \n\nthere is no pro for hunting.

You will do more than take down the deer!  Could tear it apart...(if you're right about it), maybe a little on the over kill side don't you think?

A nontypical deer is where they have antlers that are not even on both sides. Like, on one side they have 4 points, and on the other side they have 5. I never got a buck, but I did get two does. I'm 17, and I started to hunt when I was 11..kk hope this helped.! *jenn*... bubblegumluver88@yahoo.com

Well..this could be very interesting...take for example the cute little deer that live in the woods....they mate and make more little deer...for as long as there are nuts, berries and twigs to eat....when the food starts to run low...the deer begin to starve....they then get sick...many die if not from illness then from weakness when the snow falls.....add a policy of no hunting and you have a recipe for tragedy...carefully managed hunting thins out the herd and makes it healthy....the option is to introduce wolfs and bears ...of course...when they get hungry they will eat any available protein.......balance in a nutshell....good luck

Sadly, deer have an excellent sense of smell. Anything in the air that is different will warn them. Sadly, simple things such as deodorant, laundry detergent and toothpaste can be enough to spook a deer. I know of many old time hunters who were successful deer hunters that did everything to avoid man-made scent. This would include brushing their teeth with baking soda, not using deodorant and burying their hunting clothes under a manure pile. I never saw them take a thermos of coffee or food into the field. They would leave their food and coffee in their truck and go back to eat when they were hungry or felt the deer were not going to be in their area.\n\nWhat your dad would really appreciate after a long day in the field is a nice hot kettle of stew. It's nice and hot and tasty.

Okie dokie.\nHumans are a greater threat to nature because we're the only ones that are capable of producing the real pollution stuffs. Animals, unlike the human beings, know what's good and bad..besides those little creatures know more things than we do! They know when there's a flod coming! Ask the fishies! The people, are clueless. They're all like, huh, the wolrd is a huge place, huh, I can draw graffities on that public property thing, huh. Bah I don't know! What do I look like?\nBut I'm not going to do your essay for you.

I love wolves! They are cunning, stealthy, and harmless (unless you are a deer, rabbit, moose, or any other small animal! LOL)Wolves are more scared of humans than we are of them. They just want us to leave them alone. They are NOT savage creatures. So don't listen to that type of junk. The biggest breed of wolf is the Gray Wolf.

One thing that your states game and fish won't post on their website, the deer have a way of destroying winter feed for cattle.  The number of deer-car accidents.  Your states Hiway patrol website might list this.  Also, I would check out all states
