This is good news...Bonnie has been a great friend of my family for many many years...we have known her since she was only one year old...I'll talk to her about the deer...someone should have a decent size breeding herd or two on the island that can be bred with other wild deer occasionally to prevent the deer from dying out as they did in the Virgin Islands and elsewhere. They were very likely introduced to the island by the native Paya long ago, but if they get down to one or two small herds they will run into genetic inbreeding and health problems and like on so many other islands, eventually become extinct. All the best...dke "J. Bruce Blossman" wrote: > Bonnie Jackson keeps some of these deer. > > Bruce | |
