2014 Deer Comments Date Received Address Summary of Comments Follow up Recently advised that you are the contact in Roseville regarding our concern over the deer population and damage they are causing to shrubs as well as the danger they pose on the residential streets. Recently we watched at least 15 deer roam through our yard, nibble on a few shrubs, wander out into the street and move on to the neighbors yard. Last fall we invested over $8,000 in landscaping & shrubs. The deer are a definite threat to how well our plants will do. The deer population in this area is simply too much. I recently was sent an article suggesting bird 5/18/14 E-mail HighCourte feeders are major reason the deer come onto our property. PLEASE, I have one feeder that is deer resistant, however I have never seen a deer Sent E-mail near it. They are here for the shrubs! Aside from above, driving our roads are like living in a video game, you never know when a deer will come darting out. And as you quickly learn, where there is one there is more! If you have ever been in an accident with a deer you will understand the damage they can do to a vehicle. Then of course there is the pain and suffering the animal experiences. Is there anything that can/will be done by the city of Roseville? They are beautiful animals, but there are just too many of them in this residential area. The deer aren't the problem. The appearance of So. Owasso Blvd. is. The clear cutting has really taken away from what was once a nice barrier 5/18/14 E-mail Little Bay Rd with the tracks and the townhome area. If they could clean up a bit more it would help some. 5/19/14 E-mail HighCourte The deer population is way to high. How about cutting it down to 0? They eat lots of trees & bushes, and leave lots of scat. Sent E-mail My husband & I bought our house almost 2 yrs ago. We love living in Rsvl & are looking for ways to update & improve our home, We would like to do some landscaping @ the house to make it more attractive but are very concerned about the amount of deer in our yard. That has delayed 5/27/14 E-mail Centennial Drive projects to our yard as we feel the money put into landscaping would be wasted. We currently have 4 or more deer that walk thru our yard on Sent E-mail a daily basis. We actually have a"Deer Trail" worn into our grass. My husband & I would both support action in Roseville to reduce the deep population size. 5/19/14 Phone Problem with deer. South Owasso neighborhood. Damaged shrubs. Droppings Called LM - 5/19/14 There are a lot of folks complaining about the deer up in the S. Owasso neighborhood. I just want to register as a resident of this area who understands that this neighborhood is RIGHT next to all of the natural area around Lake Owasso so yes, we have deer and no, we don't have a 5/19/14 E-mail Woodbridge St Sent E-mail problem with it. A few folds feeding the deer in the hood have not helped. I do not think we have too many deer, unless you just don't believe in deer in the city at all, which is pretty had to accomplish with the natural areas we all appreciate so much. Impossible to keep flowers, shrubbery & evergreens alive with 9- 12 deer browsing several times week. They are so used to people that they 5/18/14 E-mail Sandy Hook Drive E-mail failed. Called will come right at you. 47 deer in our quadrant are too many. We would like Roseville to reduce the heard substantially. 5/20/14 E-mail Sandy Hook Drive I counted 12 or 13 near a house on S. Owasso Blvd. Pictures attached. 6/25/14 Phone Heinel Drive Too many deer. Support Harvest Did not want a call back 5/19/14 Phone Decimated. Havoc. Too many. Phone Call 5/19/14 I believe the deer population along the track on So. Owasso Blvd has become a very big nuisensece. I counted 13 lingering along the railroad 5/19/14 E-mail Sandy Hook Drive crossing!!! This is a dangerous situation, as one or two or five could jump in front of ones vehicle. Many other communities have had hunts or Sent E-mail other ways of getting rid of them!! We have been inundated with the deer population this past winter and spring. At one time we had anywhere from 7- 14 sleeping under the big 5/18/14 E-mail HighCourte pine trees in our back yard. They are very docile and help themselves to eating our shrubs and deciduous trees. Anything you could do to help Sent E-mail us eliminate this huge problem would be appreciated. Thank you. We love our deer!! We live in Owasso Hills. The deer were here before us. We moved into their space. We love seeing them!!! We wish people 5/19/14 E-mail Highpoint Curve Were concern about all the garbage we see on the streets, intersections, highways etc. on our city of Roseville. Thank you. Sent E-mail Bothered that there is a campaign to eliminate deer. We can live with them. Eating trees are o.k. Not too many deer. Enjoy the deer. Deer 6/3/14 Phone Phone Call 6/3/14 were here first. Not happy with everyone asking to call me to complain. I just want to say I enjoy the deer and don't feel there are too many. I don't want them "Culled". There is a discussion on next door about this. 5/18/14 E-mail Matilda Street I don't want you to hear from only the ones who are concerned about deer eating their bushes, etc... Mapleview Park 5/18/14 phone Too many deer. 17 deer in yard at once. No fear. Would like a bow hunt like Little Canada. No phone # left, sent E-mail Matilda
