Wildlife conflict: B.C. communities overrun by urban deer herds

Small herds of deer roam freely at the Figueiras Mobile Home Park for seniors in Penticton, feeding on trees and gardens, and leaving bucketloads of droppings in their wake.
“We were filling two-and-half gallon pails with droppings after the snow melted,” said park resident Robert Cartwright. “We like to play horseshoes and bocce, and you really worry about the risk of disease.”
Communities in the Okanagan and the Kootenays are struggling with rising urban deer population
