Letter To The Editor: Can Something Be Done About Too Many Deer?
By PAM PRICHARD
Los Alamos
Has anyone noticed that we have too many deer in this town? People enjoy seeing them, but they are destructive to shrubs and flowers, and are a hazard both to drivers and to themselves.
A poor injured doe was recently seen trying to cross a street with two broken front legs. An abundance of fawns this summer means things will be even worse next year.

I figured politics might come up. We may share genes, but we don’t share political beliefs. Still, I was curious about what they were thinking and why.

After 55 years on the East Coast, the 63-year-old Domenici, a hedge fund CFO, decided to return to New Mexico. She announced for the U.S. Senate in January 2024.
Her entrance into the race was weak. When asked how she intended to win the race, her first response talked about putting $500,000 into the race, perhaps to discourage Read More
