The Province is increasing the number of anterless deer that can be killed this fall to try and help ease overpopulation.
The number of permits for the area between Saint John and Fundy National Park is going up to 1500 this fall.
Anne Downey has been speaking out about the problem and tells CHSJ News, it's a good start but ticks and lyme disease are a big part of this problem.
Downey says it was just days ago that a woman and her husband hit a deer riding on a motorcycle in the middle of the day in the Meehans Cove area.
The application period to apply for antlerless deer permits begins June 14 for those who hunt with a rifle or bow.
