As a state senator, Don Biggs said one of the committees on which he served 
dealt with deer issues every year.

"There would be legislation to take state action to work toward some 
solution," said Biggs of the deer problems, particularly in rural areas where 
residents faced not only accidents but also damage to crops. 
"My contention is to leave it to the professional and don't try to 
micromanage it with state legislation, he said.

He felt tight hunting restrictions until six to 10 years ago has now resulted 
in too many deer. 
"I have a lot of confidence in wildlife and park (department)," he said. 
"They started to extend the hunting season with more permits, and have worked to 
control the deer population."
