To combat the suburban "deer problem" here, licenses have been made
available to shoot them on one's own property. Last I heard, none had
been applied for or granted. There *have* been some permits granted
to hunt with a bow, with considerable fuss about how careful the
hunters will be in suburban/semi-rural, but quite populated areas.
Another solution proposed a few years ago (by the State's wildlife
agency, forsooth!) was importing wolves.

I saw plans a few years ago for a chicken-coop on wheels that could be
moved around as an organic fertilizer dispenser. Made a lot of sense
to me.
