Rangers have received several reports of a mule deer doe charging at people in Brannon-Gearhart Park. This time of year, mule deer are entering the birthing season and are vulnerable to disturbance by both dogs and humans. Dog walkers are also urged to be vigilant, as female deer will act defensively during this time and have been known to attack dogs, even when the dog is at a distance and not provoking. Be sure to carry a walking stick or noise maker and clap hands to haze deer that are too close. Remember, baby deer are born scentless; therefore, hiding fawns for the first few weeks of their life is the best way a mother can protect them from predators while they forage for food. Every year, there is a potential for baby deer to be killed by a loose dog, so mothers will act defensively if they spot dogs close by. Human contact can be just as devastating – touching, or even just approaching a baby deer, may result in it being abandoned by its mother and failing to survive. Any questions or concerns, call the Rangers at 303-979-1876, ext. 170.
