Several residents in the Town of Sims have reported hearing loud random explosions as of late. In an attempt to keep the abundance of deer out of the current fields of crops, farmers have had to take somewhat of a drastic measure.

Leaving the Town of Sims, heading south on Main St/ Rock Ridge Sims Rd, on the right, you will notice large fields used for farming. When passing by, take note of the multiple scarecrows displayed in an attempt to keep away pests. These and other methods are being used to scare away the extensive deer population in that area.

One of the measures currently employed are Propane Poppers. Small bottles of propane have been set to randomly explode to frighten and confuse the deer. These explosions are the cause for the loud noises being reported to Town Hall.

Please do not be alarmed, as these explosions are closely monitored and are secluded from nearby residents.
