If you want selective reduction of the herd then something with a very flat trajectory or a very large bullet that deflects little would be a good choice. If non selective reduction is your goal then you would want something more akin to the Timothy McVea choice. :) However, deer overpopulation is a real problem in many densly populated states. New Jersey has a huge problem akin to Daniels where nothing edible is safe from the marauding mowers. We could reintroduce wolves to the urban population and some are trying birth control but so far the only way to knock down deer populations is a long hunting season with does on the license. Bows are a good choice in an urban environment as they carry at most a few hundred yards and if used fron a stand there is a only a very remote chance of unintended harm.
