Families are enjoying the opportunity to see the unusual sight. Signs posted warn of harrassing the deer. p. ui f , 'I Old 11 Deer find cozy haven at Evergreen Cemetery near Springville. How many headstones can you find? By Shannon Hall The public outcry against land owners in the ProvoOrem area who have been shooting deer that damage their crops has been enormous. enor-mous. Despite this outcry, Delbert Atkinson, and enforcement officer for the Division of Wildlife Resources, Resour-ces, said this is legal. "The problem erupting last week involving Vern Stratton has been solved. Stratton has told public officials that he will not shoot any more deer. Stratton was acting under un-der 'The Damage Act,' which entitles en-titles any land owner having crops damaged by deer to write in informing infor-ming the DWR of the damages caused by the animals. Under normal nor-mal circumstances, the DWR will send someone to the property and the animals will be hereded back into in-to the mountains. "This year, herding has been impossible because of the deep snow. The animals have nowhere to go 'The Damage Act' allows land owners to write in and inform the nWR that if thp "-.'Tr.!: are not taken off the property, the animals will be shot," Atkinson said. Atkinson siad the biggest concern con-cern with the shooting of deer in residential areas, is the safety hazard to the residents. "Although the discharge of firearms is a residential area is prohibited, shooting is permitted, if it is a lawful act. Meeting the qualifications of 'The Damaging Act,' then shooting the deer is considered con-sidered lawful. Captain Jay Barker of the Orem Police Department said one problem which exists in Stratton's situation is that his orchard is on the other side of a busy highway. "Once the deer get across the highway, they do not want to come Nback across the street. Citizens think we should be arresting men who have shot these deer, but we can't because they have met the qualifications of 'The Damaging Act.' "It's a sticky situation," Barker said. Although nothing is being done at the present time, Barker said he has several ideas to keep the deer from damaging land owners property. proper-ty. "There are several clean fields on the south and west ends of the highway. By opening those areas up, the deer would have somewhere to feed without damaging anyone's property. Eventually the deer could be herded back into the mountains. "Another idea is to get several volunteer groups to walk through fields like Stratton's, and push the deer across the highway and back up to the feeding lots. Because 90 percent per-cent would stay at the feeding stations, once they are back there," Barker said. 1 1 I I t r lllll lliiils.., t ::tes? i:;:s?4 4lP;lfei: J;IllIilSllll ' illplliiielliilil Daily trek to local grocery stores and restaurants fills pickup truck with produce for hungry deer.

She sought help after making the trip daily with her little VW stuffed with produce. "I knew I just couldn't continue by myself." She still goes several times a week to supplement the city pellet feeding program. Deer (Dear) Friends Make Faithful Trek For Feed An appeal by Orem Police to Adopt a Deer tore at the heart of Judy Barryessa, formerly of Denton, Texas, where she had served as treasurer of the Humane Society. It didn't matter that she had to get a baby sitter each day or that her little Volkswagon wouldn't hold much produce, Judy regularly made the rounds of several grocery stores and restaurants picking up produce to be discarded, loaded up her car, and took it to the feeding station above Orem City Cemetery. After a couple of weeks she knew she needed help. Patt Johnson responded along with her friend Donna Don-na Wilson. They divided the week with Judy and loaded their pickup with lettuce, avocados, apples and other goodies. It was just like Christmas dinner for the hungry deer. Sometimes they got things like French fries and bread."Deer can't eat that kind of stuff," says Patt. "But we hate to turn anything down." Patt says the stores have been fantastic to help. She particularly cited Allen's Market for their faithful contributions always boxed and ready to go. Others helping include Ponderosa and Golden Corral and several grocery stores. Others who responded with personal per-sonal time and effort include Scout Troop 3165 Den 2, an Orem grandmother grand-mother (Laura) and her grandson, and an elderly pair of newlyweds. "It's quite rewarding to know that we're really helping," says Judy. She adds, "It's too bad that some peo- First Security presents the New Utah Buckle Collection.
