Resident concerned over ‘psycho’ doe ‘terrorizing’ area on Oak Bay border Chris Campbell News Staff
An Saanich resident is looking for local governments and agencies to take more action to deal with aggressive deer in an area that also borders Victoria and is near Oak Bay. Rayna Corner said one doe in particular harasses people like dog walkers, “stalking” them on a daily
basis and even kicking at the dogs. Corner walks her dog Rooster every day and has regular confrontations at all hours of the day. “At least five women dog walkers other than me and two men have been stalked and chased relentlessly by the psycho doe,” Corner said. “This doe is the child of the previous psycho doe who was killed by a car last fall, finally, after years of terrorizing us. This one exhib-
its the same learned behaviour of stalking. There are other does with fawns around who don’t act like this.” “It’s a neighbourhood problem that’s been going on for years. I live right on the Saanich/Victoria border nearish Oak Bay, so even though Oak Bay has done a good job with their birth control program, it’s also pointless without other municipalities joining on.”
Corner has contacted the Conservation Officer service in the past, but said its staff haven’t taken action, other than suggesting carrying a “baseball bat or a ski pole.” Dogs and deer are natural enemies, conservation officer Peter Pauwels told Black Press Media back in 2019. Most deer encounters the conservation office hears of involve dogs. Continued A7
