The Issue

STOP deer mitigation in Elk Ridge!

This town has always been wildlife friendly. Residents have moved here for the landscape, country life and the animals! This land was their land first!

DWR estimates our deer herd within the city to be about 400. How many residents think this greatly exaggerated?

Deer Mitigation is cruel to the deer. The plan to uthanize up to  half of the heard is outrageous. 

Plans like this should be open to residents. We should be able to decide together how we control the "overpopulation". 

Can this plan at least be halted until a town hall can be hosted to discuss the issue? This decision was made without public knowledge and should be rescinded!
