You can automate this. Just chain up the female (and a male, somewhere) deer at the top of a tower with a pressure-plate-triggerred dropping system. now every time a deerchild is born, it wanders away from its mother, triggers the drop. falls onto your "launching pad" and is pre-gibletized for your flak-tosser. This was originally used to set up an automated butcher system (since wild dead animals are automatically butchered if they died exploded in a corpse stockpile)

By the way, this is NOT my system. I wish I was the one who came up with it.

Know what you can do? Build a large wall using colored stones to create a dart board, then use the bridge to fling goblins (darts) onto the wall. Dwarven Darts for Dwarven Drunks!

Indeed, I made one of these once, I designed my own myself and later read that it had already been done. I used to it keep hunting stocks up and avoid the depopulation problem. I didn't drop animals to their death.
