We would to keep track of deer sightings, health and especially whether they are yearlings. Please post here what you see.
On a side note, though very important... someone shot a pregnant doe on East Side Drive, tracked it into the woods, gutted it (twin fawns inside) and dragged it out. Keep your eyes open for poachers and report all poaching! The deer have had a hard enough winter without someone shooting at them.
Also, anyone who can get out and fell some cedar for the deer, that would really help them in this last burst of winter.
Two anonymous donors have contacted the wildlife club and a reward is being issued for information leading to the arrest of the poacher. More details to follow
Jacque,
Regarding deer counts, we have one - three who walk through our property almost daily (Mrs Reddings Trail, just south of the split for Western Shores Drive) and today I see 10 deer grazing on the shore.
