Oregon Town Claims They’re Being Stalked By Deer


A small town in Oregon has decided to hold a public meeting in order to discuss the amount of deer that is wandering through their neighborhood streets. The town said that the herd of deer are very fearless and have a tendency to act aggressively towards the residents.

Mayor John Stromberg initiated the ‘Deer Summit 2015’ in hopes of having the town discuss the problems they’ve had by being stalked by the deer. Many of the deer has pawned their hooves at citizens and even trampled their small dogs. A recent incident where a deer attacked a homeowner urges the city to try to take action.

The District Wildlife Biologist for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Mark Vargas says that the deer has no fear of the neighborhood citizens. Due to many of the residents befriending and feeding them, the deer have a mindset that they belong in the small town, among the human population.

The deer have no fear of humans. They live amongst all the people and when that happens there’s going to be conflict. In reality we encourage folks, look don’t feed the deer. They don’t need food. They don’t need water. If you can, don’t even be friends with them.”
