I think we had a virus wipe a bunch out on salt spring. Barely see them anymore. The hunters are coming up empty too. Shotguns only, folks!

Governments follow different deer ideas
The federal government is killing deer with helicopters and rifles, while at the same time netting them for cougars in a bizarre animal version of skip the dishes.
They do this because the deer are eating the wrong plants.
Meanwhile, municipal governments allow deer of all shapes and sizes to wander freely.
Can someone introduce the left hand to the right hand before we end up with helicopters strafing Uplands Park?

Regarding the story of a dog being killed by a buck in Oak Bay. Surely, enough is enough. It’s just a matter of time before an unsuspecting elderly person or young one gets in the way of a buck just wanting to perpetuate the deer population.
Why not round them all up (as humanely as possible) in the urban areas like Oak Bay, Victoria, Esquimalt, Colwood, etc., and ship them in cattle trucks to the middle of nowhere in B.C. and let them live out their lives on the range.
Obviously, in the more rural areas like the Saanich Peninsula and Metchosin, they could be left to live in their natural environment. If they come into town, they get picked up, placed into a holding pen and then shipped away when there’s enough to fill a truck. Costs for this could be shared amongst the municipalities, but overall, the CRD should take the lead in this program.

Just kill them. We already know that capturing and safely releasing them is next to impossible.
