Council Raises Concern About Effectiveness of Deer Hunt

An expanded deer hunt in city limits doesn't seem to be having much of an impact on the deer population in Kenora.

Figures from nine surveys gathered this past fall show just 14 deer were
killed.

Councillor Sharon Smith says she'd really like to see more surveys turned in so they can have better information about the local hunt.

The City started the expanded deer hunt last year to try and curb the local deer population, but councillor Louis Roussin says its not doing anything to the deer that live in downtown Kenora.
