According to Chief Constable Andy Briton, the deer parts were found along with other material dumped on the opposite side from where Namegans Nation spent one night a week ago. However, the two incidents are not thought to be related.

A tarp could be seen set up further down the path towards the water near Willows Beach.

On Wednesday, Const. Julie Chanin found a toaster oven, some bottles, and a baking powder container by the tarp, but no sleeping items. She said it looked like it had been there for some time.

Police do not know at this time if the deer is connected in any way to the tarp and the garbage, or whether it was taken down by a cougar. Police said they did not find any cougar tracks nearby, but the recent stretch of dry weather could account for that.

The camp, carcass remnants and garbage will be removed by Oak Bay’s Public Works department.
