There’s your (the) 101 freeway* up in the Great White North that is Sonoma and there are your deer.
These critters don’t mind traffic at all, it would seem.

*Just a two-laner each way at this point, I believe, but still a freeway (and not merely a highway) at this particular spot.

You want to be immortal, to live forever? Well then build monuments to yourself the way that Hearst guy did. (If you told me his first name, I’d remember it, but otherwise, I don’t know recall his first name.)
Except that that plan doesn’t work so people forget you after you die.
Anyway, here’s the huge piece mounted on top of the main entrance – you’re probably looking at 15 or so feet worth of facade:

See the pattern? It goes:
Kitteh Deer Deer Kitteh
Deer Kitteh Kitteh Deer
Kitteh Deer Deer Kitteh
Deer Kitteh Kitteh Deer
Kitteh Deer Deer Kitteh
Remember, kittehs are everywhere, you just need to know where to look.

This is the closest I’ve ever been to The White Deer of 4.5 star Yelp-rated Point Reyes National Seashore. It was the view I had from Pierce Point Road.
Now, back in the day, the National Park Service was hiring snipers to hunt down the non-native Fallow and Axis Deer so that Tule Elk and other native species would have an easier life. Well, as detailed by Zachary Zoblig, the “Bambi Effect” kicked in like you wouldn’t believe. Thusly:
After
all the commotion, the NPS gave up on the hunting idea
. The new approach is a massive contraceptive program that will eliminate
these critters by 2025 or so.

The Friends of the White Deer and Save the Point Reyes Deer are just going to have to live with that…
Good luck, Bambi.
Details of the plan, after the jump

To the chagrin of some, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area soon will soon be called the Golden Gate National Parks.
This young buck, who calls the area around Rodeo Beach home, is licking his chops in anticipation of living in a full-fledged National Park:

Just take MUNI bus #76, MARIN HEADLANDS over to Rodeo Beach on a Sunday sometime to see a good part of the GGNRA.

Here’s the latest from the exotic deer wars up in the Pt. Reyes area of Marin County.
A little background about the “hired killers” is here. Of course, California State Senator Carole Migden has been on this issue for a while now. But the Feds have a different point of view about “exotic ungulates”.
The plan is to have all these deer gone withing a decade or two. And that rubs some people the wrong way.
Please don’t shoot me just because I don’t come from here! Some exotic deer inside of the Point Reyes National Seashore:

It seems the way the Federales have handled the culling will give animal lovers lots to argue about over the coming years and decades.
Let’s hope we can get to some kind of solution soon.
