in researching the immunocontraception data, i have found out that PZP has been observed to increase the frequency of estrus in does and increases the length of the rut.

great, bucks lose weight during rut and get a bit crazy.

We don't need an over population of suburban deer hopped up on PZP roaming suburbia looking for trouble.

Tonight, while rounding the bend on an on-ramp to interstate 270, i saw a doe right by the curb. I slowed to a stop and she & her girlfriend ambled off to the brushy area inside the curve of the on ramp. Had i been going faster, she might have bolted onto 270 right into 60 mph traffic. These Washington DC deer are not intimidated by vehicles. They feed 20 feet away from rush hour traffic!
