I live in Lansing, NY, a few miles north of Ithaca, near Cayuga Lake. Hunting with guns is prohibited in the town. Bow hunting is allowed. We have lots of deer. There were two fawns zooming around on our lawn yesterday (with their mom watching.) I've seen as many as eight deer in the backyard at one time.

We have to be careful what we plant in the garden, and deer ticks are everywhere, but otherwise the wildlife is welcome.

They extended the bow hunting season this last year to try to keep the population down.
