Dear editor:
Interesting how the residents and tourists in Radium Hot Springs appreciate the wildlife that roams the streets there. Yet there is Invermere wanting to murder the deer. How about all the turkeys too, that so many love to watch?
Why not truck the deer out here to Brisco, at the ROCK-A-BOO RANCH, and let them roam free on this family ranch like the deer and elk already do? This ranch pays property tax along with an extra tax on 20 parcels of the ranch that lays against the Columbia wetlands the ranch does not use, so let the deer have it. I am sure people who truly care about Invermere’s wildlife would ban together and pay a trucker to bring them out (the 40 miles). Then no one would have to whine about deer in their way. Unload them by the waterfall that is part of this ranch… There is plenty to graze on here, year around on a lot of lands.
