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

Richmond-area man turns ordinary nails into mini swords

Give Hanover resident Brendan Shelton a hammer and an ordinary nail and he'll turn it into a sword small enough for a Lego figure to wield. Why it matters: What started as a childhood experiment has become a roughly 15-year hobby — and an unlikely side hustle selling miniature swords to collectors on Etsy and at the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. The backstory: "I just wanted to make weapons for my Lego figures," Shelton tells Axios. He taught himself using tools in his parents' garage around age 11, discovering that nails were soft enough to shape. Shelton, now 27, has since made hundreds, including swords, axes, spears and tiny rifle look-a-likes inspired by movies and video games. The process. Photo: Courtesy of Ben Comenetz, founder of CreativeCultureRVA How it works: Shelton hammers nails into tiny, realistic-looking swords, complete with handles and guards. The hammering takes less than an hour, but Shelton admits he loses track of time when adding the finishing touches. He also leaves the pieces unsharpened unless a customer requests otherwise. From nail to mini sword. Photo: Courtesy of Ben Comenetz, CreativeCultureRVA By the numbers: His Etsy shop, MicroArmory , has recorded 111 sales since 2021,
