Here is an article that was posted in the Park Falls herald that talks about problems they are having with Deer within the city limits of Park Falls, they are exploring ways that the deer numbers can be controlled.
Its interesting to read that they are unwilling to do the one thing that we know for sure would help control Deer in the city limits. I'm not saying it would solve the problem, but it sure would help.
Thats to stop feeding the Deer! I am not an anti baiting advocate, but it just makes sense to me that we should not be feeding Deer in any metro area for recreational purposes. It's dangerous to do so and not good for anyone in the long run, especially the Deer.
City deer survey leaves council hunting for answersPark Falls Herald
