And of the deer I can see, how do I tell which ones are the exploding breed?
Seriously. There ARE too many deer in the city. There may be too many deer in the cemetery--I don't know that answer. However, Kathleen is right--the game commission are the ones that really do know what is going on. FWIW, and I know this won't be much consolation, they employ folks, some or all volunteers, who are chosen for their marksmanship--it happens that my neurologist at Penn is one of them--for this kind of work.

How far away from the deer should you be to avoid serious injury if one does explode?
