Deer thrive in Carson City. In fact, a permanent resident herd breeds here each year, never migrating anywhere else. Deer can be seen throughout town from the foothills to the Capitol walking down streets, jumping fences and living in people’s yards.

These urban deer have become accustomed to people and dogs and have little fear. Some people in the city think there is a deer problem when their landscapes are damaged repeatedly, their fruit eaten and plants destroyed. Others think the deer are a wonderful part of nature and love seeing them daily. They may even feed them.
