| The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources say a low acorn production is to blame for an influx of deer in cities and residential areas.
"This is basically what we would call an oak mast failure, which means that there is very, very few acorns," said Christ Ryan with DNR.
Acorns are a deer's main food source.
The DNR says this has been the worst year in the past 43 years for acorn production, forcing deer to find their meal in back yards.
"When the acorns aren't in the woods, they have to go look for something to eat," said Ryan.
