COMMENTS FROM SEWICKLEY AREA RESIDENTS Helicoper hunting/drone strikes Will support any measure taken Quit issuing building permits-leave the green space for the deer Normal hunting with shotguns Prohibit feeding deer Birth control Increase number of deer you are allowed to kill Allow hunting in all areas of the Borough Make developers accounts for wildlife relocation Relocate deer Support bringing in wolves Educate residents about deer problems/ticks/routine spraying around neighborhoods Deer crossing signs Allow property owners to shoot deer on their property Open Sunday hunting Any means would be appreciated Problem not the deer it is corrupt politics, too much greed Thank you for conducting the survey Concerned houses are too close for hunting Too much construction in Borough Please give ample time and information for any type of shooting-archery-sharpshooters Borough needs to do a better job removing dead deer from roadways Do not hire hunters, plenty in Borough Meat does not need to be donated Please do not waste our tax payer money on surveys or action toward the deer population Live in Franklin Park to enjoy the wildlife Turkeys are an increasing problem too Opposed to all hunting Sharp shooters only on Borough property Deer were here first Coyotes are insane-threat to children and pets

COMMENTS FROM WEXFORD AREA RESIDENTS We do not need local government micro-managing our life Deer are not afraid of humans More concern over noise pollution-lawnmowers, snow blowers, leaf blowers Do not donate meat Give meat to residents first then to the food pantries Coyotes bigger problem than deer Wasting your time and resources with this survey People have taken over the deer's land/over building Turkeys are a driving problem Surrounding communities also need to take action Do not support Franklin Park becoming a deer farm of "grow and slaughter" Do not support Whitetail Management for the job Speeding cars more of a problem than deer Thank you for asking Birth control No feeding law No hunting Signs to warn of deer crossings Lure deer out and transport to gamelands Let homeowners archery hunt deer on their own property One day of community managed archery hunt Start a deer park Resume hunting to the way it used to be

COMMENTS FROM PITTSBURGH AREA RESIDENTS Any measure except coyotes Permit residents only for archery hunts on owner approved and Borough property Open Borough property to archery hunting permanently Stop the development Birth control Community education Stop feeding the deer Open hunting season for all year Use the model deployed by Mt Lebanon Tranquilize deer and give or sell to private hunting grounds Borough should pay for hunters and deer processing Avoid planting what the deer eat Use local hunters with crossbows Review Fox Chapel's program-pairing landowners with hunters Consider speed bumps Deer crossing signs Trap and euthanasia Preserve deer and natural habitats Archery no less than 300 feet from homes Have police shoot deer when seen near roadways Limit time of year residents are allowed to feed deer (Nov-March)

Limit kills to doe Eliminate rodents-main carrier of ticks Better lighting on the roadways-too hard to see at night No firearm hunt is acceptable Non-lethal measures, if proven to work Deer very destructive-landscape/car accidents/ticks Herds of deer daily through property Speed limits need to be observed, will prevent less deer hits Thank you for asking All the choices are going to harm the residents What ever works Let's address the dogs running freely with no leash Food does not have to go to a pantry Do the job you were hired or elected to do-stop making up needless programs Use no tax payer money-responsible hunters are free Inform the residents as to when and where hunts will be taking place Do not use tax payers money to employee hunters Coyotes are already here and a problem too This is a good public relations approach-Get it done Bird feeders under 8 feet above the ground are considered feeding the deer
