2014 Deer Comments Date Received Address Summary of Comments Follow up This is our 12th spring at their address & the deer damage is the worst that I've seen. I had 2 pots of pansies & they lasted one day before the deer ate the flowers & pulled some of the plants out of the posts. They have chewed tops of lilies & Hostas when they have barely broken the 5/19/14 E-mail Sandy Hook Drive ground. The decimated the young strawberry plants. I have now covered them with netting & they are starting to come back. You have to be sent E-mail careful where you walk in part of my back yard because of all the deer scat. Does Roseville have any plans of what to do about the deer overpopulation? The deer have taken over the NE corner of Roseville. They wander through our streets as if they owned them. It is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident. I go through many gallons of anti deer spray to the point the deer think of it as salad dressing. They pay no 5/18/14 E-mail HighCourte Sent E-mail attention to you when we yell at them to stop eating our flowers, shrubs and small trees. I saw so many pregnant does this winter that the herd has to increase by at least 50%. We need to get rid of them before they ruin our neighborhoods. 6/26/14 Phone Terrace Drive Too many deer. Neighbor counted 20 ticks on herself. Phone Call 6/26/14 We have too many deer in our neighborhood & their #'s are increasing. They eat plants & bushes, leave droppings and stand dangerously in the 5/18/14 E-mail Sandy Hook Drive street at night. We see as many as 8 at a time along the RR tracks beside S. Owasso Bivd. . Other suburbs reduce their deer population. I think Sent E-mail Roseville should too. Thanks for giving this problem consideration. A lot of discussions about the deer around the neighborhood. (Link embedded in e-mail) I just want to add to all the comments that we live in a townhome development with a wide open green area, well maintained because of the work of volunteers and the money we put in. Other parts of this neighborhood is composed by ramblers from the 50s, very often fenced and/or invisible fenced for dogs. The deer go where it's easy to circulate, safe (no dogs) and where they could find easy food, meaning our area. I totally agree that we are lucky to live in an area 5/18/14 E-mail HighCourte Sent E-mail where wild life is so vibrant, but there is a balance to find. Overpopulation of local isolated deer herds can be detrimental to both deer and humans. With no predators except an occasional neighborhood dog and nowhere else to go, deer populations explode. I read somewhere that deer population densities greater than 30 deer per square mile may cause problems with habitat and conflict with people. It seems we reach this proportion. I really would like to hear from DNR about it and what the city consider to do? 25 yr residents, rare to see a deer eating flower, rhubarb. TOO many deer. Tracks. Repellent doesn't work. Definitely more in past 5 years. 5/21/14 Phone Heinel Drive Phone Call 5/21/14 Scared to walk after dark. Not afraid dogs or people. Herd of 6 or 8 deer. Garden damage. Tree damage. feeding ordinance/enforcement. The deer have been in our area for a long time but are now in sight because Xcel and Wright Bros. destroyed thousands of trees, many old 5/19/14 E-mail Sandy Hook growth, and bushes. The deer now have no cover. It is sad that Roseville allowed this to happen. Please do not blame the deer and destroy Sent E-mail them also. our neighborhood is not as beautiful and natural as it was. 5/27/14 Phone Heinel Drive While walking my dog - a deer walked up to us & would not go away. Phone Call 5/27/14 5/16/14 Phone Rice Street See lots all the time. 2 dead deer in yard-Crossing at Rice Street. Has neighbor that feeds deer (need ordinance). 5/19/14 VM Highpoint curve.

Phone Call 5/18/14 5/17/14 Phone Matilda Too many deer. Eaten all in yard. No phone # left Saturday we found a newborn fawn on our back step. We took pictures & it did not move. We were afraid it was dead, but found info. on the 5/26/14 E-mail Little Bay Road internet that said that is how newborn fawns act. Once it got dark, the doe took it away.
