The herd has got to be culled by 800 from the estimated 1,000 Virginia Whitetail herd. The smaller whitetail were introduced to the island in 1967. One buck and three does and left unchecked with no natural predators and vehicle traffic the herd has become a big problem with native vegetation and has enabled invasive species of vegetation to take a firm hold. The seasonal waterfowl hunting at Sachem Pond has defeated with 30 people attending the town meeting. Each Canadian goose generates 3.5 to 4.5 pounds of by products a day and it creates a huge weed problem on the lake.
