Page 2: More Keweenaw snow photos
In Eagle River, the Calumet-Keweenaw Sportsmen's Club provides food for a
herd of 150-200 deer. The Keweenaw County Sheriff's Department formerly fed the
deer, but this year new rules did not allow them to have a permit because of
their location too near a paved road.

Kevin Junttila of Tampa, Florida, visits the deer herd in Eagle River while
on a recent Keweenaw tour with his Dad, Jim Junttila, Calumet-Keweenaw
Sportsmen's Club board member and publicist.
|
|
Keweenaw County Sheriff Ron Lahti said the rules do allow residents on Roads
2, 4 and 6 to feed the deer, with special food provided by the Sportsmen's Club.

Eagle River deer are not very camera-shy. Drivers need to exercise caution on
roads near the deer-feeding station.
|
|
"There's a good, healthy herd here," Sheriff Lahti said.
