The exact number has not been released yet, but Kimberley City Council did confirm last night that there are a lot of deer in Kimberley - 19.6 deer per square kilometre, to be exact.
Coun. Mick Henningson, who sits as Council representative on the deer committee, reported that a count was taken on three consecutive Thursdays, and it confirmed what pretty much everyone in Kimberley knows - we have a lot of deer.
"There were more deer in Marysville than they counted in all of Cranbrook," he said. Cranbrook's count came up with 91 deer.
Mayor Jim Ogilvie says even the 19.6 per square kilometre figure is slightly misleading because if you separate Marysville out, its numbers are far higher.
The deer committee will be reporting to Council early in the New Year and the exact numbers will be announced at that time.
In the meantime, Ogilvie says the committee is working hard, and Henningson says they have already done a lot of research on potential solutions to the urban deer problem.
