• Does the Park District tag deer ears?

    Question

    Today we saw a deer eating english ivy in our yard. Not sure if it was male or female. Question: It had both ears tagged. Does the park district tag the ears of a deer & why? Thanks.

    Sorry for not having an answer in this case, but no, the Park District does not tag deer. I know there are deer farms in Middlefield that raise deer; maybe one of theirs escaped.
