Let's put the deer on the pill. That was one of the ideas brought up at a meeting about the City's deer population Thursday night. Mapleward Road Resident Cheryl Bak mentioned that Quebec is managing their deer by putting out birth control laced salt licks. Other residents were in favour of the bow hunting in rural areas idea, and noted the deer are bringing wolves into residential areas. City Council will discuss what to do with the deer population at it's November 21st meeting.
