Yes. It really is the way to go.

It is much more then just some damaged bumpers and eaten shrubbery. When the herd gets to big for it's ecosystem - it starves to death.

I used to be very much an anti hunting person. Until I spent a winter in the mountains of Utah and watch an entire herd of elk starve to death. That was the most horrific thing I have ever seen in my life.

According to the article you posted, there is a specific number of deer to be culled and only bow hunters are allowed to participate. This is a far cry from hunting with high powered rifles from helicopters or 4 wheel vehicles.
