    The Wider Image: Swelling deer herd hems in South Korean

    Kang Dae-rin, 63, tests a blowgun, as he prepares to capture deer roaming around the town, on Anma Island in Yeonggwang, South Korea, May 22, 2024. The sheer number running wild in wide swathes of the island's forest makes it practically impossible to harvest antlers, said Kang Dae-rin, who trades them and runs a deer farm near the capital, Seoul. The weight of numbers also makes it futile to sedate the deer, who also have a severe tick infestation that makes it hard to ship out the animals, or their antlers, added Kang. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji
