   Fair point.  That's true of the ones I know as well.   
      
   I was reading earlier that the White Tailed Deer is the only mammal that has   
   increased in number over the last three centuries; every other mammal has   
   decreased.  The White Tail also makes a mess of forest underbrush that changes   
   ecosystems permanently    
   for other species.  I've got a patch of forest that's totally ravaged from 8   
   feet down.  Impossible to grow anything to fill in the gaps, they eat it all   
   while the shoots are tender.
