It was interesting to read Garry Litke’s comment in the paper, which stated, “The number of complaints about deer has really dropped off in the last little while.”
I am sorry to break the news to you Gary, the deer haven’t gone away we just quit calling. I called the number at city hall and left a message. In the message I asked if I was to call each time I saw a deer in my yard, or each time a deer threatened my dogs and I or if one call was enough.
Funny I never heard back from anyone, so I quit calling but the deer have not left. Just the other day I went to walk my dogs and there were three deer in my front yard. They refused to leave and when I tried to scare them off they charged at us. We couldn’t go for a walk over my lunch hour that day. I even erected a new fence around my back yard to keep them out but that hasn’t stopped them from jumping in.
I am not sure how other’s are feeling but the attitude that no news is good news just doesn’t fly.
