Residents of Cranbrook are asked their opinions on dealing with our urban deer problem.


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 of the 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.
