Deer Problems

The Lowdown Online is reporting that a deer rescued from the Gatineau River was released in Gatineau Park but died of hypothermia.

Contrast this with yesterday's Gatineau Park Ecosystem Conservation Plan which points to deer grazing on the plants of Gatineau Park as a significant stress to the park ecosystem, going so far as to recommend that the NCC "encourage the hunting of deer in areas peripheral to the Park where the deer population is too large, in partnership with Québec’s Ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune."

    Here’s the spray I’m talking about:
