Valley Residents Can Now Have Their Say On Deer



The Kennebecasis Valley Regional Deer Committee has started an online survey to get a feel for what people want to see done with the growing population of deer, if anything. 

Hampton Councillor Bob Doucet chairs the Deer Committee and is hoping to get a large response. He tells CHSJ News when this is all said and done, he's hoping the Natural Resources Department will come up with a comprehensive deer management plan.

Doucet says the concerns he has heard from people range from the deer being a nuisance to a danger when they roam on the road and the possibility of catching Lyme Disease from deer ticks which is quite debilitating. 

He concedes the issue is controversial because others in the Valley don't want to see anything done and argue people are infringing on the deer's habitat.
