Residents have noted a steady stream of hunters cruising our local roads using on and off-road vehicles . It is hard to believe that while we are surrounded by thousands of acres of wilderness crown land, a populated residential neighbourhood would look attractive to an outdoorsman in search of elusive deer. Perhaps it is a very good thing that very few sightings of mule or white-tail deer have been reported in local yards. On that note, local wildlife sightings seem to be very low this year although the otters have been entertaining waterfront property owners throughout this Fall.
