Good to hear! I know Markham has a strong deer and beaver presence. Heck, a pond 2 minutes from my house in a subdivision has beavers. There've been deer in my backyard also.

Wildlife sightings in my area have been increasing.

I'm faily convinced that they wander up and down rivers/creeks. In the case of Eglinton/Jane, that would be the Humber if I am not mistaken.

Yeah it's by the Humber, and that particular section has a very forested and secluded area north of the golf course. I've talked to another fisherman who said he saw one once at Old Mill. I'd be interested in knowing the actual number of deer that inhabit the city.
