Two very assertive/aggressive deer. One initially on the south side of 3rd, saw three humans and three dogs and trotted from 25-50 yards away, crossed the street, and then followed us on the campus side of the street until the 3rd person in our group deterred it with waving their hat, enough for the deer to run parallel with us again on the other side of the street. Second deer looked over rock ledge at the music school, spotted us, and then proceeded to walk towards us as if to meet up right at the 3rd/Eagleson bus stop. Two deer ended up interacting with one another after the first deer crossed back to our side. Humans and dogs entered Soma to plot remainder of walking route. This area is very busy with cars, buses, cyclists, and pedestrians, and the music school constantly has people in/out of it during the summer months. I’m concerned for all parties, but I would like to know what I can do to deter a deer that is actively pursuing me. I’ve now had deer chase me twice in the last two years. Last year near Bryan Park, and now on campus. Signs to avoid the area aren’t going to cut it if the deer will follow and pursue for blocks.

Please do so to reduce the city deer population. They destroyed my plantings again as they always do. Hundreds of $ at Mays Greenhouse wasted. It’s ridiculous. It’s constant and unrelenting. Maybe they will attack a child or something to gain your attention!!’

Hi, Every year our block has 1-3 fawns born and the mother deer are protective for about 3 weeks, and especially aggressive towards dogs. At the very end of the birth cycle last spring 2024, the city put a couple signs up to warn the dog walkers off our block. That would be wonderful to have again this year - our first 2025 fawn must’ve been born today in the backyard of mine (808) or my neighbor’s (810) backyard on S Fess. If we could please have 2 signs for the next month or so to post out front at the ends of the block, that would be very helpful. Some folks know the drill and move back quickly and others take less effective approaches that endanger themselves and their dogs. Thanks! MaryAnn

Our neighbor at 3830 S Woods Edge Bnd continues to let their dog get loose and in the last day we have now seen it attack a couple walking Saturday and now an elderly man and his dog. For 6 months we have repeatedly coaxed the dog back towards its fencing and the owner has acknowledged the dog being out but hasn’t addressed issue.

Yesterday I observed two men sharing a crack pick smoking crack in front of the downtown post office. Today while having breakfast at McDonalds south Walnut while eating breakfast I observed a male dark T shirt and jeans and beard and a woman bonding hair white hooded sweat shirt sharing a crack pipe right in window by the outside tables and no one even blinked an eye. I guess this is Bloomingtons new norm turn blind eyes to narcotic use so typical.
