More Questions About Growing Deer Population

With many deer finding a home deep in sub-divisions, a move this week by the Department of Natural Resources has many scratching their heads.


The confusion comes from knowing a rifle can't be fired 400 meters near a home or business and for bow hunters it's 100 meters.


DNR spokes-person Rod Cumberland tells CHSJ News, last year, 1000 anterless permits were given out in Zone 23 which includes Quispamsis, and over 1500 people applied for a license.


Cumerland adds more permits at this point is the first of many options but many like culling or removing the herd is expensive and will have to be decided by municipalities.
