We have a glut of deer in the Highlands. Land owners take as much as they can realistically use/sell, but there's still too many according to some (mainly complaining about the destruction they cause to forestry and their tendency to jump in front of cars).

Some idiots are even campaigning to reintroduce a top level predator like the wolf to keep them under control.

Even if every man, woman, child, police officer, and national guardsman in CA tried to take on the US Army, the whole thing would be over in less than 1 week.  If it took longer, it would only be because they were trying to spare people's lives.
