Feeding deer within the city of limits of Eagle River is banned, and city officials hope the public heeds the law. The Common Council recently discussed the increasingly tame deer herd within the city limits. Mayor Jeff Hyslop says he wants to remind residents of the ban and hopes they self-enforce the rule. He says there are also additional measures being taken...
"....we do have a feeding ban for deer. We're also continuing the annual hunt within the city to reduce the population where it is possible. At this point we're just going to carry forward and see where that goes...."
Deer within city limits tend to become used to having few predators and can cause property damage.
