Richmond's suburbs have too many deer and too few hunters

Richmond has a deer problem — and fewer hunters to help keep the population in check, according to the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources . Why it matters: As Richmond's suburbs expand, deer are finding refuge in neighborhoods where hunting is limited, making them harder to control. And deer, it turns out, aren't always the best neighbors. Too many can lead to car crashes , property damage and even health problems for the animals themselves, per state wildlife officials. State of play: Wildlife officials are trying to reduce deer populations in parts of the Richmond region — and much of the state. Woods, parks, golf courses and backyard gardens provide plenty of food and shelter, Justin Folks, deer project leader for DWR, tells Axios. Meanwhile: Virginia has 19% fewer licensed deer hunters than a decade ago, and suburban development is limiting where they can hunt, per DWR . What they're saying: "You've got people that are having conflicts with deer and want to declare war on all of them, and then right next door you've got someone that's got a name for every single deer in the neighborhood," Folks says. By the numbers: Hunters killed at least 5,035 deer in

Lehja's new Chesterfield sibling brings Punjabi flair to town

The owner of Lehja — one of Richmond's most acclaimed Indian restaurants — is opening a second spot, this time in Midlothian. Why it matters: Chesterfield residents are in for a treat when Tashan Indian Kitchen opens, hopefully this month, owner Sunny Baweja tells Axios. State of play: Baweja is preparing to open Tashan in the former Rusty Taco space in Westchester Commons, pending final inspections. Think of Tashan, which means "swag" in Punjabi, as Lehja's younger sibling, Baweja says, sharing about 65% to 70% of its menu but with a personality all its own. While Lehja serves cuisines from across India, Tashan will lean more heavily into dishes from Punjab, Baweja's home state. On the menu: More chaats (Indian street-food snacks), Punjabi specialties and a few dishes you won't find at Lehja. Among them: Gosht Beliram , a goat dish named for the legendary royal chef of 19th-century Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Baweja says Tashan will be the only restaurant in North America serving it. Plus: Punjabi-style rara chicken curry and some street-food appetizers with Amul, a popular Indian cheese brand. To drink: A curated wine list of 70 to 100 bottles, plus beer and cocktails. Inside Tashan.
