To whom it may concern. <br />I have taken it upon myself to find the minutes from the last meeting and would like to <br />point out as few things. Vadnais Heights has been a front runner in giving bow and arrow hunters <br />opportunities to take deer on a yearly basis. You have to keep in mind though that the deer <br />problem will not get any better right away; however, you can keep it under some kind of control. <br />In the years to come with all the homes being put in the area, the deer will be pushed out of their <br />environment for good. Not that this is a bad thing but it is what the building is doing and was <br />noted in the last minutes by Scalze. Morelan noted the geographical location would be a <br />problem, and I can see the point. It is right next to the park. My worry comes with children that <br />play in the park. With the deer getting use to people, they just wouldn't be afraid. I have seen <br />first hand that male deer during the rut just do not care what is in their way and children or adults <br />(for that matter) can't outrun a deer. <br />Slim Frattalone I'm sure is not the only one with the crop loss, <br />some of you have roses, trees and other costly shrubs and plants that may have been blamed on <br />the neighbor kids and unannounced to you its the deer up the street. I realize that to let a few <br />people in and harvest deer in the area you, and I live in would mean to amend the existing <br />ordinance to allow the discharge of a bow and arrow, and I believe that for the safety of all and <br />the least amount of lost crops that the amendment would go in affect as expedient as the harvest. <br />Any other means of removing the deer would be to costly for those involved and this means all <br />of us. <br />Thank you for your time and attention you have been very kind and understanding <br />Page 21 <br />
