Rothesay Also Wants to Help with Deer Problem

A regional public education program to discuss the growing deer population will include Rothesay.


Like Quispamsis and Hampton, it has seen the number of animals explode in recent years.


Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News, there has to be a solution but a good place to start is to remind people not to feed the deer.
Bishop adds the deer population up north is dwindling while it is exploding in this area so there has to be a reason.
As for culling the herd, the municipality has no authority to approve that.
