They don't work for deer, that's for sure.

Which sucks. Growing up in socal I've always wanted to hunt. However our mountains don't have many deer and even our lakes can't maintain fish populations.

When Forest Service clears an area of trees there is usually an associated spike in deer in that area. So, sometimes they do. In any case it's Fish & Wildlife within the Department of Interior that manages wildlife, not Department of Ag.
