Initial consultations are conducted to provide site-specific cost and
feasibility assessments for all management/research options. In addition,
a comprehensive report can be prepared that details all organizational
aspects (social, legal, and technical) necessary for implementation of any management technique.

These are the variables that must be considered to determine feasability and cost of management options:

•  Deer population size, density and distribution

•  Relative herd health

•  Percentage of the target population to be removed

•  Approachability of individual animals

•  Alternative food resources

•  Techniques permitted by State and landholder

•  Legal constraints

•  Equipment selection

•  Total management area

•  Latitude

•  Human population, distribution and activity patterns

•  Housing Density

•  Access – private vs public; road network, etc.
