Let’s try another solution for urban deer problem

Re: The other side of the deer problem (News, Feb. 29)

I like Bambies, too. But I am not blind to the problem of home gardens, flower beds and especially crops being depleted by deer.

In the early ‘90s, a deer problem threatened fruit crops in the Okanagan. A solution was found which did not include displacing or killing the deer.

The solution was to hang small pouches of synthetic wolf urine here and there around the orchard. It worked very well and the problem, along with the deer, went away.
