Bill Witt, thank you for saying it better than I could.
 
I will add, while trying to be brief, that of course we could  and should 
be doing a better job of managing deer in Iowa and in Iowa  communities.  And 
it would help if our deer-related  actions and  policies were based more on 
ecological knowledge and what's best  for our landscape, and less on money, 
politics, and a mania for  large bucks.   Thank you to all the people who 
are working on  local and state levels to move our state in that  wiser 
direction.

"A tree is an  aerial garden, a botanical migration from the sea, from 
those earliest plants,  the seaweeds; it is a purchase on crumbled rock, on 
ground. The human, standing,  is only a different upsweep and articulation of 
cells. How treelike we are, how  human the tree." (Gretel Ehrlich)
