- Ron and Betty Gorbet: Save our deer
- November 3, 2010

- JoHanna Wedemeyer: Deer plan horrifying
- November 3, 2010

- November 3, 2010

- Bonnie Kerns: Deer issue overblown
- November 3, 2010
- To the editor: Let’s say there was a dog that went outside and was killed by a deer. Most dogs tend to be aggressive and will bark and/or chase deer. Maybe the dead dog tried to chase the deer to scare it away. Now you want to kill all the deer in town.
- Bill Muldoon: Ghosts or poor photos
- November 3, 2010

- Jenny Meyer: Save the deer in Craig
- November 3, 2010
- To the editor: I am a native of this area and have lived around the deer and elk here all my life. The country, rural lifestyle and wildlife that live here is why I continue to live here.

- Shawn Coleman: Craig a deer ‘sanctuary’
- November 3, 2010
- To the editor: What is it with the people of Craig? As an avid hunter and an animal lover, I am appalled that a few people and the Colorado Division of Wildlife think it’s OK to slaughter Craig’s deer. This is a sanctuary.

- November 3, 2010

My parents contentedly spent time together, and I long for this in my own relationship. I want a companion.
