Louis Vehla, City Communications Director with the City of Peachtree Corners says the survey began 14 months ago after a rise in deer complaints.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost of it had to do with collisions, potential collisions with vehicles,\u201d Vehla said.<\/p>\n
The numbers released by the city tell the story. Three out of four residents have reported some property damage, 87% of residents see deer weekly, and more than half of residents have witnessed or experienced crashes involving deer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve already deployed 10 cameras into 10 different locations. They will be there for 21 days,\u201d Vehla said.<\/p>\n

The strategically-placed trail cameras will help wildlife experts to determine if there\u2019s actually an overpopulation and what, if anything, will be next.<\/p>\n
The city can\u2019t manage deer on its own.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a city, we have no legal authority to do any kind of wildlife management,\u201d Vehla said.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s up to state agencies and individual property owners.<\/p>\n
Many neighbors say it\u2019s about finding a balance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re in their natural habitat, but at the same time, we are in ours as well,\u201d Warden said.<\/p>\n
