Word that the Department of Natural Resources is increasing the number of anterless deer that can be killed to 15 hundred this fall is good news for the Mayor of Quispamsis. Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ News, town officials realize the deer population is a major problem.
Driscoll says education is still a big part of alleviating the problem and is not ruling out putting in place a bylaw to not feed the animals. An open house to discuss lyme disease carried by ticks on deers will be held at the Town Hall on Monday night.
