What shall we do deer?

Enjoying an afternoon in the shade of the Tembec Building
Residents of Cranbrook will soon be asked their opinions on dealing with our urban deer issue.

The document Urban Ungulate Conflict Analysis, Urban Ungulates Summary Report from the Ministry of the Environment may be of interest to many residents.

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/cos/info/wildlife_human_interaction/UrbanUngulates.html

It is a long document but it does outline other community experiences as well as possible management solutions. Of particular interest are pages 30 and 31 where a table shows a summary of Population Reduction and Fertility Control Options. Also of interest on page 6 is the Canadian and US Overview demonstrating experiences of different cities and municipalities that have already tried to deal with this same problem. Their experiences are dealt with in more detail within the document appendices.
