Don't feed the Deer

Problems with deer experienced by some residents in the area over the past few years could be minimized by this winter's snowfall.

Melissa Mosley, a biologist with the Ministry of Natural Resources, says the full impact won't be known for a while, but this year's heavy snowfall will help in keep deer in the bush.

The snow, though, is not impacting on the animal's ability to feed, and area residents should avoid setting up feeding areas.
