The Department of Natural Resources is suggesting an increase in hunting licenses to deal with the pesky bambis.
Rothesay
Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News DNR has decided to cut the zone in
half with Rothesay/Quispamsis/Hampton being one and Fundy National Park
being the other.
He
says when they look at Rothesay and Quispamsis as a district they do
see an overabundance of deer and they do want to try an increase the
harvest or culling of the deer in that area.
DNR is suggesting
the town's give the names of residents who would be willing to see
increased hunting on the properties.
The town of Rothesay will not be
doing this as they have nothing to do with granting licences and are not
experts on the safety of hunting like DNR is.
The town of
Rothesay will send a letter to DNR stipulating they are open to further
discussion.
