Hungry deer push into towns as farmers bear costs of feed
Farmers in Millwood report increasing deer numbers in yards and towns amid deep snow and cold. They blame government programs and stricter hunting laws for loss of feed, while wildlife officials warn population may drop 30 to 50 percent from 1995 estimates and foresee possible die offs depending on weather and snow conditions. Farmers cite high license costs and desire for more humane relief such as free hunting licenses or government-supported feeding stations as potential solutions.
