Current snow conditions make deer vulnerable to attacks from dogs. "Deep snow covered with an icy crust allows dogs to run on top of the crust, while deer flounder in the snow," says Bob Pegg, Conserva­ tion Officer in MNR's Wingham Area office. "Under these conditions, dogs will catch and kill the deer. We encourage anyone who sees dogs running deer to contact a conservation officer at an MNR office."

Mr. Pegg says that conservation officers are investigating a number of incidents of dogs chasing deer. In some areas, packs of "wild" dogs are attacking deer. "Wild" dogs, which are likely domestic pets that have been abandoned in the countryside, are a threat to livestock as well as to wildlife. "The deep snow we've had this year is making it difficult for deer to access their feeding areas," Mr. Pegg says. "Does are also getting heavy with fawn at this time of year, and their fat reserves are getting depleted. There is enough natural food for the deer, but the stress of being harassed by dogs may cause some does to abort their fawns."
