From the radio program's description of Thursday's show:

Deer are mating like rabbits in Ohio. At least 750-thousand populate the state, outstripping the natural resources needed in some areas to sustain them. And the danger of deer-car collisions increases as the herd grows. The debate over how to cull the herd rages on, with the city of Solon now a focal point as the city again turns to hunting while residents go to the ballot to outlaw it. The deer problem in our region, and the solutions, Thursday at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.
