The deer aren't the problem. It's the stupid people who keep moving into deer habitat and planting shrubs and stuff that deer like.

Follow the bouncing blame

Deer won't 'move out' of the cities.
Fawns usually live out their lives within a km of where they are born, and home is implanted with each generation.
A cull can break the chain.

Exactly the same problem and fix required on Leon Ave

But why are those deer living in the towns and city's ??? cant be because of all the great habitat .......... or is it lack of predators or ???????

Like most organisms, deer will exist wherever they can. Doesn't have to be great habitat, just good enough. Doesn't have to be a lack of predators, just few enough.

I'm not familiar with Kelowna or it's deer problem! But if the town is considering a hunting season for management we should be on this in a responsible and respectful manner to help show the public how wildlife management can work.

Nor I. Wildlife and humanity coexisting, both having ideal habitat with good management. Urban hunting is a part of the future.
