ELK RIDGE – More than 50 Elk Ridge residents gathered at Shuler Park Tuesday to voice their frustrations over the new deer mitigation program that went into effect Tuesday.
Elk Ridge residents and Mayor Rob Haddock talking about the new deer mitigation program that kills some deer. Elk Ridge's mayor said Utah's Division of Wildlife Resources had advised the city that a healthy urban deer population of the town would be close to 200. On Tuesday, Haddock said the population is closer to 400.
During Tuesday's gathering, City Councilman Jared Peterson also fielded questions from frustrated residents. When pressed about why the mitigation plan was implemented, he explained that 25 current homeowners had contacted the city asking for help with nuisance deer on their properties. When responding to allegations that the City Council quietly passed the urban deer mitigation program to avoid backlash, Haddock said it was never a secret.
"Things were getting too heated , a lot of personal attacks, a lot of threats, and I wanted to put an end to that and let them vent and put some facts in with the emotions," he said.
