Abstract
⺠We model the impact of bow hunting on suburban populations of white-tailed deer. ⺠We examine changes to deer harvest rates as a function of deer density. ⺠Rifle hunting is approximately 3.3 times more efficient than bow hunting. ⺠Bow hunting produced only moderate deer reductions under most scenarios. ⺠At high deer densities, even low immigration rates will impede localized herd reductions.
