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

ACPS Tightens Enforcement of Tardy Expectation

For the 2026-2027 school year, Albemarle County Public Schools directed all schools to strictly enforce its longstanding tardy expectation. Under the expectation, students who receive three unexcused tardies are assigned a lunch detention. After six unexcused tardies, students receive another lunch detention and must meet with administration. After nine tardies, students receive a lunch detention and must attend a meeting with a parent, a member of administration, and the coaches of their sports team. The stricter enforcement has raised concerns among some students, who feel the expectation is unfair because circumstances such as traffic or a late bus may be out of their control. Although teachers and administrators are working to enforce the expectation, some of these issues may be beyond their control. Office associate Michelle Layman said she thinks the expectation is a good thing.

HANNA: The Burke Society chose the wrong speaker

The Edmund Burke Literary and Debating Society hosted former Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback Oct. 27 to discuss the future of conservatism as part of his “America’s Next Chapter” tour. Before his visit, Fishback has publicly used racial insults and promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories. For an organization committed to civil debate, that record should have been disqualifying. Hearing perspectives we disagree with has value, especially at the university level. However, being controversial does not automatically mean someone has something worthwhile to contribute. Given Fishback’s record of hate and vitriol, the Burke Society should have interrogated what he offered beyond controversy and whether hosting him would advance the civil debate it claims to promote.
