Suhy 23, 34, 25 atl His Back Yard New Denver Man Befriends Wild Deer By John Bohle A deer's best friend, Sandy Harris of Silverton, is per- turbed that an increase in’ cougar population has de- creased the deer population in Dis area 60 to 70 per cent in the last four years, Sandy has named many of his pets. Names like Peanuts, Popcorn, Gladstone, Disralie and Griztley abound in his conversation. A keen observer of deer behavior, he has found them grateful for food and kindness, behaving nicer than thorough- bred horses, Deer have long memories and return for help to those who have befriended them. A patrician of the herd, Ol Grizzley, came back four years ago in deep snow with an eight inch gash in her hip.

Blacks are more agressive but at feeding time have dined harmoniously with white tails. ‘Two ecugars, of a group of five, wore killed last year, Sandy estimates eight cougar still are near his property. A pet of 12 years standing, a buek, returned last year with an ear chewed and a deep hip wound. “Cougars served Sandy. He. estimates cougars eat one deer a week. An increasing deer popul- ation attracts cougars. The cougars multiply to the point they start to decimate the herd. Ifallowed to continue, the point will arrive that with insufficient food the cats will starve and disappear, Eventually the cycle will be repeated. Sandy feels . the time has arrived to thin out the cougar population.
